This might help you get a bit of breathing room to address the bigger maintenance issues you mentioned, like the garage roof and leaning trees.It’s also important to find a support system, whether it’s other landlords who understand what you’re going through or a mentor who can offer advice and encouragement.

Why can't you start with some smaller residential or small multifamily commercial properties to get your feet wet, show proof of concept and possibly try to take on larger deals.Or possibly find a local syndication group and become an employee under them learning the trade and finding a mentor in the space.

If you have a wealth of experience and are open to mentoring or networking, please get in touch.

The majority is with property management, the rest if online looking at statement and reports.People often ask me what I actually provide to them in my mentoring and coaching program.
