But if you work with good realtor and property manage, they will take care of you.Good luck!

Congrats on getting into the industry and for cutting your teeth on wholesaling.

When we lived further away I hired more things out (cleaning, yard care, small repairs)I have a great prop manager lined up for when I'm ready to fire myself from managing. 

We sprayed a nest that was forming, and apparently that didn’t take care of the bees.

Higher rents equals higher taxes.depending on your income you may be relegated to a condo which the association fees will cut drastically into your costs and eventual profits.If you are going to buy I would check with other military people who are considering selling and buy directly (assign or attorney) without a realtor. 

Hi, I'm Daniel from Culver City, CA and have been in commercial banking for over 10 years and recently passed the CA RE Salespersons test. 

I would be very careful about interpreting data, especially with real estate. 

Personally, I prefer to manage all my properties because a) no one cares about them more than me, b) there's no PMs in my town worth a crap anyway, c) my properties are fully renovated and rent so fast that PMs would do virtually no work for their pay anyway, d) I'm a control freak, e) I make more money. 

They are getting to the point where they need around the clock care and need to sell their house  where they lived to help pay for the health care and living expenses .  

One won't cut it.
