Following..currently looking for first airbnb now and it will be 15 min from me so the physical management part I have taken care of but the finances I was teetering with whats best.

It's easy to fall into the "out of sight out of mind" syndrome and you want someone physically checking on the property here and there.

I also HATE going to a physical office to go to in-person training at my KW office because it disrupts the flow of my day and derails my efficiency. eXp has all the training online, which is ultra-convenient.

Location question is still hard to reconcile though...How did you decide on the places you chose to invest in Hi Maria, I had a few places in mind from a place of historic cashflow/legal environment/physical hazards/price point/economic outlook.

Since you are not physically there, you're going to need people (i'd recommend multiple) that can look at the property.

I then put the electricity in my name before the utility company went out and physically turn it off at the meter, to save on the turn on transfer cost.

That will give their wallet a chance to get used to the rent change.It really all depends on your tenant and the rent amount though, so talk to them and see what you guys can work out.

I found a great cloud-based brokerage that will allow me to train without physically being in the office taking leave from my military position.I think about finding a brokerage like going shoe shopping.

Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!

They have a large physical office in Las Colinas.
