@Emily Shin landlord experience is invaluable for a career in rental real estate.It's not something you may want to do long term, but the experience can help you select and manage PMCs.

An investor having a positive experience with him does not negate the ones who have had a negative experience and vice versa.

This flip at 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, was a learning experience as it was the first for my business partner and me.

It’s exciting to see how doors open when you have someone who knows how to navigate the space.I just wanted to share this because it’s been such an eye-opening experience for me.

If you need help with the process, you can contact Consolidated Civil Enforcement - they have a ton of experience helping landlords through the legal process.

I have sold a couple of businesses as well, and speaking from experience, you are never more vulnerable to make a mistake than when you are sitting on a giant pile of cash.Also, I agree with @Corey Conklin - I'm a big fan of "overflow cities/towns" in the sun belt.

For the layout and having 1 bath 1 kitchen each, I am guestimating the repairs maybe 6k each unit if I did not do it myself/with friends since I have plumbing experience.

Quote from @Matthew Brown: I'm looking to find others invested in the Fairway America Vivo Rancho Cordova syndication deal to discuss their experience with this investment and Fairway America, overall. 

While each person has their own perceptions of a rough part of town, in my experiences, I do avoid them.  

If anyone has any experience or suggestions, please jump in!
