Hello, everyone, I got introduced to the real estate world by my investor husband and now I'm a REI-leiver.

Brown RentRedi tries to enhance the DIY management options.It is NOT a replacement for a PMC.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

That's actually why I personally moved from Portland, Oregon to Columbus Ohio - to start my full time real estate investing career.

Im happy to mention real dollar amounts and share more about what I've seen! 

If it were real estate and not membership shares in an LLC I think the related party issue might be an issue. 

what it sounds like you are asking is illegal in many ways, section 8 laws, local laws, duel contract laws that conflict, there always has been also those out there looking to catch you breaking them,  avoid it, dont offer it, dont entertain it, there is leeway up if the tenant meets certain conditions, say need 1 floor rental, if not rent may be inflated over realistic market, which is what rented at not listed at, keeping in mind sec 8 market rents also include utilities paid, you can usually reach by email fastest, they have set chart, heat type, neighborhood etc, more than listings found online

I've been a real estate investor for 3 years, at first it was going to be buy and flip but I re-evaluated my markets and changed to rent and hold.

We experienced what looked to be an all time high in terms of sales in the real estate industry in 2016.

I own a half dozen residential rentals, but with high prices lately decided to move into commercial real estate for the first time, which seems to be a much more depressed market at the moment.  

Just sold one and have two under contract that will go on the market soon.Novations is allowing us to monetize more leads by presenting an offer that is better suited for someone not desperate to sell but who wants a guaranteed net price.
