When we were scaling up, our first hire was "field manager". 

In Philadelphia the fundamentals are strong: leading industries/employers are in the Education and Medical fields which are known to be stable, proximity to NYC and DC, national airport, port city, affordability compared to mid-atlantic predecessors.

Is there anything you wish you had known when you began your real estate career? 

While that would be nice to build up a lot of money and save, however that would just push me back even further from starting my real estate future plans, careers, family, etc.

Hey Martin, If you're interested in getting started, you should try to find a career in real estate.

I am a retired USAF 20 year career and I have never used my VA loan eligibility, because it is a bad loan.  

I had the same uneasy feeling thinking about ditching my W2 job to pursue a career in real estate, when the market turned for the worst.

In fact, you have to go out of your way to get the business name in there (I actually had to reach out to support to figure out how to do it, and ended up changing it back to my personal name) by putting the business name in the first name field and leaving the last name field blank.So in your example, "Lumen" would have put "Lumen" into their profile as their first name, and left the last name field blank. 

It was the purchase that jump started my real estate investing career by providing a high consistent cash flow, and a large capital gain 4 years later.

It's active in the field career training via doing.
