I’ve always wanted to get into the world of real estate, however i’ve never dipped one toe into buying and renting out homes.

A lot of real estate professionals (including myself) give thoughtful responses at least in part to drum up business.

I am a real estate broker and have access to market data for valuations.

There are a lot of loan officers sometimes new to the business that send out what is known as a "teaser rate" More than likely you are also paying 1.50 to 1.75% points for that rate and you should "Never" pay points just use a real FDIC Bank instead of a "Lender".

We always start clean at the beginning of the month unless there is a real need to start mid-month.You will have to use the leases that are in place and can transition the tenants to your leases as each lease expires.

@Ankush R.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Have you used a bridge loan in your real estate endeavors?

The Bascom Group, LLC has expanded its presence in California’s Central Valley with the acquisition of Old River Place, a 249-unit build-to-rent multifamily property in Southwest Bakersfield, for $56.6 million.

This isn't including other expenses I know but I was planning to self manage the property and hope rates continue to go down so I could refi in the future and gain more margin in rental income.After further analysis and speaking with a friend thats a real estate agent I may want to shift my original plan and sell it.

And, that my husband and I can make our real estate visions a reality.
