Money can fix almost anything in real estate and if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.Learn the biz on a limited scale - if you are hands on - buy a small property (1-4 units), maybe have some work done, advertise, rent it out and then manage it.

Just immersing myself into all the material that I can find.

-No website; no books; rent roll is a notepad; no signs; no advertising; can barely see it from the road, and still at 90% occupancy.-43 Units and 9,165 sf-Less than 1 Acre-I know that this will not profit very much relative to other storage facilities, but $1000+ in cash flow/month sounds very appealing from that perspective.

Insurance, utilities, management fees, the cost to turn, how long it takes to turn, the cost to advertise, which ads work, foot traffic, closing ratios, trailing 12 months of operation, and then you need to know and have relationships with the top 3 controlling brokers in the market to find the best apartment stock within.Look, I am not trying to scare you here, but there are so many courses out there suggesting real estate is easy when, in truth, there is a lot to know.

We are interested in saving money by sourcing our own materials and doing some of the more basic work ourselves, so are interested in working with someone who would be open to that.

You say the people advertising are wholesalers; if so they would be flipping or selling it for as much as they could get, not this huge a discount.I sold a high rise condo I owned in Phoenix last year for $260,000, while the same layout the floor above sold for $310k.

There are lots of resources out there, a great one is simply to go find your local for-rent advertising sites that will publish what other housing is currently being offered and for what price.

How do you communicate to your contractors what you want in terms of design ,materials, etc. 

There is information on how to get started as a residential agent (Buy leads, advertise network) but there isn't much on commercial. 

Hello, I am looking for a better understanding of CASH OFFER companies that I see advertising all around (online, signs, etc)I understand ALL CASH offer/purchase.
