Also, if eventually you get into that house hack, and elect to self managing a duplex, triplex or 4-plex that you own/live in, you will by default learn about property management skills and no license is required to manage the property you own.To answer your specific question, yes - you can become an employee of a property management company to learn about property management and I highly recommend it!

These loans are amortized over 30 to 35 years, and it is advisable to approach DUS lenders directly to avoid additional broker fees.➡️ HUD loans have slightly better terms than agency loans but require a longer approval process of around 6 months.

When the vendor marks the job complete, the tenant is automatically asked if the work was done to their satisfaction and it asks them to review the vendor and my company.The automation works most of the time, but there are some times where additional communication is needed.
