@Eriko Yoshimaru yes, @Andrew Fidler and his team manage properties for us in Toledo.

With us both having the same mindset, I’m sure we make a great team. 

I would live there for about half a year, and would also like to buy a duplex in the same area at the end of that time frame to then make my primary and rent out the other sideI do have a good contractor for my current primary residence, and a good team in Pittsburgh.

Team,I purchased my first commercial property.

I am sure people who are well-connected, seasoned investors investing full-time/with a team are able find those deals, but I have yet to find one in my 2 years of looking (the 2 I've bought are about at the 1% rule / about 8% ROI, cap rate 7ish.  

And I am talking about your primary home, I understand you can invest anywhere with the right teams but you still need a roof over your head while doing it and paying half the mortgage I pay now would be fantastic! 

Besides finding a good real-estate agent, who would you recommend I add to my team to help me be successful?

Do you have a team or do you work alone?

We feel we have the perfect network and team in place to make the transition into real estate investment.

My team has invested in commercial mf properties here in the Bay Area.
