That distinction is not made clear all too often here on BP.

Either way you go is a good idea…property management with either class will be critical.  

You have your RE license, so courts are super-critical of anything that looks like you are taking advantage of anyone (even your Mom).

My beef is with those who criticize the end goal that I'm working very hard to accomplish.

Offer some constructive criticism if you see a flaw with an approach, that is part of why I come to the posts... but, if you just want to be demeaning... join that other social media site that the rest of the world is on who want to just spew hate. 

You've taken a critical step that I kick myself in the *** every single day for not doing, and that's investing while AD.

It's critical to be able to estimate your repair costs so you know how much you're willing to pay for the property.

“The recent news that legislators in Congress may be coming closer to finding common ground is encouraging, but it is critical that any package includes meaningful rental assistance and other critical support such as an extension of unemployment benefits and short-term liability protections.

I won’t delve into the pros and cons of working for small and large companies on this post, but I do want to make the distinction that the types or responsibilities you’ll have as an asset manager can vary widely from one organization to another.Currently I oversee over 1MM SF of retail and industrial assets in the Western US.

@Patrick M.Sounds like you have made a good start on your real estate investing career and are ready to rock and roll in 2021.Your thought process about financing is generally correct.I might make a distinction between commercial bank loans and agency loans - agency loans are generally $1M or more and may have a more stringent experience requirement than commercial bank loans.In terms of your balance sheet, what you net worth is - is what your net worth is - so there is not much you can do to change it in the short term.
