Get out there, network with your local investors, and when you're not hanging out in person, use this site to stay in touch and interact!

The key element is the quality of data you are targeting. 

I would base my scale on whether the attorney is good or not from his previous work and the clients he's worked with and interactions you've had with him.

I have done what seems like too many rehabs and learned a ton (made a ton of mistakes too) and along the way I realized that if I incorporated systems and procedures into my rehabs it seemed to make them run smoother and make working with contractors more enjoyable (lets face it, even contractors will agree with me that doing a rehab can be stressful).I am not saying that contractors are idiots, but what I am saying is that when doing my rehabs it made them more manageable and produced a better result when I simplified the entire process............removing the element of guessing and speculation (especially when it came to design, finishes and color selections).

Whether you like it or not, you're responsible to maintain the property and all its elements.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

And yes tenants require a lot of assistance at times and evictions do happen but there is the human element that May be lost with PM's when it comes to putting someone on the street I want to make that decision, same with repairs and who does them.

Its not perfect, and the ones we use we still have some small issues with some times, but it gets betters in time as the you and the PM learn to interact with one another and what to expect. 

It’s been a good year for real estate and all of my agents understand and follow the appropriate protocols when interacting with clients.

I look forward to much more interaction on this forum and learning from you all, while maybe helping some other rookies like myself!
