@Nick Gargiulo there is many aspects in starting.

It has been pretty easy lately to talk about and focus in on all the negative aspects that COVID has placed on lives, and how it may change the way society and the RE industry operates in the future.

The family aspect also doesn't help and may disqualify you

Since the LLC’s aren’t exactly impossible to hide, the trusts are can be hidden because there is no filings to be recorded (that’s just one aspect)

My project is still on early stage and I need to consider all aspects of it.

This leads to evaluations of the property not so much on the cosmetic aspects, but more so on the function and mechanics, I.E.

I am in the military and this has by far been the most difficult aspect of the transition for me.

I was surprised at how much is involved, but, at least I have one part of my business that can generate income risk-free, especially during times of uncertainty, while the other part of my business can focus on more risky aspects of REI.

Time and time after again it's proven to come back with a new opportunity or connection that has accelerated my real estate journey I completely agree on the networking aspect!

Is there a hybrid model you use where you manage key aspects of your apartments while also using a property management company for other local hands on needs?
