Definitely important to build a portfolio and get an appraisal before buying.

They build up reviews across all the listings.The downside is that if you want to switch PM's or self manage, you will have to start over.

If you build a solid team and listen to them you'll be fine.

Make sure you stay on the good side of the building department and code guys and you'll have no issues.
