Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Quote from @Satyajeet Dodia: The search tool in BP is not that great, never has been.Go to Google.com and search for there.

A quick google search reveals that Minneapolis provides assistance for first time home buyers so there seems to be a problem with funds for first time home buyers in your locale too.

By doing my homework, such as studying up on the Colorado contract and filling it out myself in advance of working with the attorney, asking questions of the attorney as a last resort after searching for information to the best of my ability, and clarifying my questions and sending any questions in an email, I was able to minimize time and pay less.

How far along are you in the property search/acquisition process?

I would factor in 6-10% for property management.i have worked in property management for 3 years before and through the pandemic, and I have been seriously searching for property to invest in for about two years.

@Elan Adler do it as a token of appreciation and a pay ahead for other folks that search  BP agents and realize this.The decision to pursue this property isn't terrible, but I think it's for different reasons.

With all of these tools I felt like I have what I need to be comfortable with running my own properties. 

Did not know about tools on how screan tenants.

You can use Airdna & other STR estimator tools to get data on potential income/vacancy based on your location and property size.
