@Thomas S. and @BOB CRANEYBecause we were in our first month of ownership I was giving the PM (who happened to be the seller) the benefit of the doubt regarding transitioning from managing his own units to managing on behalf of an owner.  

If you have a team in place that can make the transition a lot easier.

I am currently looking for a little change and I'm trying to transition into real estate investing.  

Hi everyone, I am currently in the military as well and will be transitioning back to the DFW area.

With the ultimate goal of quitting the W2 job and transitioning to full-time investor, I have adopted a buy and hold strategy aimed at generating maximum cash flow.

My goal is to transition from flipping homes to buy and hold rentals and I don't want  to get into a situation where my debt to income ratio is way to high.

If I could focus more on project management, acquisitions, etc, I could eventually transition out of the other career entirely.Here's to a great year for everyone!

Perception changes over time and can change quickly at times-----The real effects are that there's more wealth / affluence as you get further to the immediate west of this area you're describing, but you transition to more of a working class/working poor (although more diverse) population to the east of MLK.I think it would be an absolutely great thing for Des Moines to get some investment into that MLK corridor that you're describing. 

Below is my buying criteria (feedback welcome)I have $200K cash to invest and I am looking for apartment buildings anywhere in the US that can meet the following criteria:-$2K per month minimum cash flow-Location: C areas that are in the path of progress that are likely to transition to B areas.

Now I'm back I want to transition to Real Estate investing full-time.
