I'm not opposed to getting my own group of works and have them doing everything, but I think I would prefer to get started by doing most of the work myself.My Business would be progress into a couple phases.

They have monthly breakfast networking events, and a lot of other events too.

With an infant at home and being a film Producer, I have no room to plan an event like that!

In this case I would still want the property to cash flow in the event I need to get a property manager.

I'm curious how the landlord knows who trashed the place if he had no contact with the occupants after the event?

@William Nelson Great advice, I wish I had someone to tell me these things years ago.Bottom line for me, is take a break from looking at props and focus in your business plan and vision as you’ve mentioned.I know my business plans will change, but the most important exercise was the act of writing it down as opposed to just having the plan in your head.Not just the plan, but I also found myself researching local real estate attorneys, real estate agents, insurance agents etc. and everyone who may be involved in my business.I’ve uncovered a ton of things in my local area, which I hope will help going forward.Lot of great stuff.
