Want to feel more prepared the next time I step into a dangerous place like the one I saw today. 

I did well in the early 2000s but just like many others I lost everything.

I read that I could dispute bad review in cases like this, but I also spent a lot of time and mental energy to find a middle ground.

Through relentless self-education on platforms like BiggerPockets, networking like crazy (over 200 Zoom calls in 2020!)

Sounds like neither you or your agent really know what they are doing. 

Cities like Minneapolis, Boston, and Atlanta are showing how public parks can do more than provide green space—they can drive commercial development and job growth.

This time I am comfortable enough with the business to look at markets away from home, and I think the better yields, less expensive properties, and better market outlooks will be worth the money that a turnkey company will cost.I heard about Norada a lot back when I was more active in BP, and I remember thinking they sounded pretty good, but looking into them now, it sounds like they are not actually a turnkey company.

Fernando,Sounds like your mentor might be correct in selling both properties.

I drove through some community and like a after war field. 

This sounds like a thought out plan.
