I used to help managed STR's in Nashville.

As a property management company in Washington, we help owners navigate these challenges and optimize profitability if they want assistance analyzing their property or planning future strategies.

Until then, I'll be trying to absorb everything I can to fine tune my approach and prepare for managing REI business post-acquisition.

For example it is my understanding that Big Bear allows it but whoever is managing the property has to live within 1 hour of the property. 

I think a better option is to get a job in property management.

Cash flow depends on the down payment, but using a HELOC could keep your cash reserves intact while you get started.Make sure to build a reliable team (property managers, agents, etc.) to help you manage the property while working full-time. 

With the way my portfolio and pipeline is arranged I can understand why the construction management or brokerage verticals are most enticing but it still feels too transactional which is what I want to avoid.

I almost exclusively sell bank foreclosures for a large asset management company, and I also do a lot of marketing for wholesale deals.

I’m also looking for mentorship, partnerships, and apprenticeship opportunities to sharpen my skills and learn from those who’ve been there before.If you’re an investor, agent, lender, or property manager in Fairbanks, Alaska.

As an owner you're allowed to manage your own properties.
