When you see established folks say not to write an offer you can't close on, this is why.... 99 times in 100, the highest sales price will come from someone getting traditional bank financing, so if you want that, you gotta be able to actually close.

With little to no experience, no established teams (contractors, property managers, maintenance staff), and distance between you and your investment, things can fall apart QUICKLY.

There are so many laws and regulations and now new laws for 2020 that I would definitely get second opinions before jumping in.

Before you do anything, you want to speak to an attorney who understands SEC regulations and real estate syndication. 

@Chris VanceOwner/Landlord friendly regulations.

A lot of the established PM companies kind of missed the whole "forum" phase on the internet.

The sales people actually know what they're talking about and would love to establish a relationship with someone like you.Avoid Samsung and LG like the plague, unless you like replacing appliances every few years.Also, I'm pretty sure new and used appliances are treated differently for tax purposes.

I have read that being an agent probably wasn't a great thing to do, but I was thinking of using it as a daily job while trying to pay off my bills and re-establish my credit, all while trying to start networking.   

Read the rent control regulation that went into effect.  

I know I will need to understand the specific regulations in my area as well, but I don't think this would be the deal-breaker.
