I am interested in any experiences dealing with the death of a tenant with no heirs. 

Your encouragement and sharing your experiences really helps.

While my professional experience lies in the medical field, I am now eager to dive into the world of real estate investing.I am particularly interested in learning more about:•Fix & Flip properties•Rental properties•Wholesaling properties•Contracts and negotiationsAs someone new to this field, I would greatly appreciate any advice and pointers from seasoned investors.

And what is your experience with Rustoelum Tub & Tiles?

At this point, you could look into getting a real estate license and/or getting experience in construction/rehab by working for a contractor who is willing to train you. 

I wanted to get thoughts on if anyone has had experience performing a refinance prior to renting a property while utilizing BRRRR? 

I also have 5 + years experience in Property Management.

I understand that investing outside of my local area may require partnering with someone on the ground who has experience and knowledge of the specific market.Once again, thank you both for sharing your valuable perspectives and advice.

Again just my experience. 

Based on my personal experience, owners seems to evaluate two primary cost criteria when comparing PM's, the monthly fee and the placement / leasing fee.
