Doing it yourself properly is a huge hassle and you could easily miss something.I've learned to use professionals and spend my time finding buyers/sellers/investors/properties.

Keep in mind that if they were organized, professional, and timely they probably wouldn't be cheap.

That doesn't mean it's a walk in the park.So I'd say it's a different happy than an afternoon at the beach, but as a professional and growth activity, that it makes me happy.

Online the prices range to over $1000 but I've heard there are cheaper options, and also that a certification for Argus is not even necessary.Any professional advice or leads for me to pursue?

Again eager to network with professionals in the area...

I'm looking to build new connections and forge new professional relationships.

The property will be professionally managed.

Another issue is zoning as a special use permit may be required, having special needs or more than 3 unrelated tenants is sometimes an issue.You may also be subject to inspections and ADA requirements, hard surface floors wider doors, etc. it's no walk in the park.After you get the permits and modify the place, you will get higher than market rents (due to mods) but you're also pretty well locked in to renting to that NP/agency, can't really take them to the cleaners as they can move on leaving you with a harder to rent dwelling too.Insurance will be more and you better keep the place up in tip top shape.

They also are probably using professional management, which reduces your on labor but increases your costs.

The rep I worked with was very competent and professional and really knew his stuff, especially with regard to how to build and maintain a strong personal credit score.?
