If you manage homes built before 1978, there's a key regulation to be aware of: the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires property managers and Landlords Nationwide to be certified in lead-based paint handling.

I have an IT career, but like some others, I'm looking at economics these days and realizing that I need to make a change to get to where I want to be. 

Would you say this approach could be effective?

It's about being a person great mentors want to help!

Listsource is a good tool as well.

Hello BiggerPockets,
I’m Jess, and I can't wait to get involved with this community. Looking forward to connecting and learning from everyone here!

This comes up all the time, and this is just another reason why it should not be done.

It's always better to start local, in markets you know well.

Ultimately, my vision is partnering with a private lender so I can spread my funds across multiple deals at once and scale quicker; I'm really happy so far with my agents, contractor, and refi lender, so I feel like getting a great lender would be the next step for me.

Empty nesters may be visiting family over the holidays and may decide to start looking to be closer.
