learning curve is in commercial lease negotiations and challenges of “island time” contractors and professional services Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I recommend using the company that you have other policies with since they'll be able to provide you a bundle discount. 3 - Look at market rate, and charge slightly under.

I would also recommend seeing if there is a local REIA held in your area. 

RE Experts, What would you recommend?

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

@John Underwood - do you have any books you can recommend? 

In my opinion, I'd recommend to keep the property, considering it's location and the appreciation factor in SD.

Hey jeremy, sometimes the best options may not be local I recommend asking some qualified investment focused brokers
