I'll prob work 50-60 hours/week at the JOB with a very stable firm and I expect I have some super solid upside options there.My parents had 2-3 rentals when I was growing up, I worked for a property manager before while in undergrad, ran a successful painting contracting business, am solid at negotiating and selling, have spent my share of time in rough neighborhoods, but I'm concerned I may be too much of a nice guy to ever get too good at evicting poor people.

Be straight forward and honest and let them know you are doing research on what to expect and ask their advice on pitfalls to avoid getting started.Any other time spent worrying about market share is wasted energy in my opinion.

You will have a solid management agreement keeping you protected.

Hopefully I won't come off as a waste of time and I can find an experienced investor to show me the ropes and (MAYBE) even finance my first deal.Does this seem like a realistic way to get my foot in the door?

They should have a list of good people who do solid work at fair prices.

Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Norris Group has a solid and professional reputation.

There is one here on the sight that looks pretty solid if not overkill compared to what I have been sent on prospective properties.Also, anyone in particular you recommend for Land Lord property insurance?

Wasted 3 months of my life trying to work with a bank who won't budge.Day 93 - Terminated / taken off market.Venting....

It still needs a few things but it's a solid investment and a beautiful property worth (conservatively) $75K even in this mkt.
