My wife and I are finally getting started with rental properties after months of research and a lot of property hunting.

Through my own research of the insurance code, I have found that as a broker I need to give my client the Standard Broker Fee Agreement and Standard Broker Disclosure along with the applicable insurance pamphlets.

This is also our first property in SF; we're doing all the research we can re: being landlords in a very strict county.

I am starting my research for a good turnkey provider.

Obviously you need to be familiar with the area and do your research, but market rents are good compared to the acquisition prices!

I've heard that appreciation is rare for a property overall, so kudos to your hard work and research!

I have been researching and attended real estate club meetups for the 13 months. 

Lately been reading up on real estate investing because 1) I want to start building up my personal equity 2) the idea of investing in real estate excites me.I'm currently researching residential properties in the EU that I could buy but I figured why not leverage my marketing background in order to learn more about the real estate market.

Just be creative and do your research. 

Almost every syndication opportunity I have researched so far uses a 75%LTV value-add strategy.
