Very reassuring as I am familiar with the palm coast area and south of it but not too familiar going north from a rental aspect.

(What aspect steers you away from using a professional manager?)

What aspect of the process are you looking for advice in: finding property, financing, landlording, etc?

I would more so worry about fixing the actual issue than dealing with the emotional aspect of it. 

@Gino Barbaro I would argue in some ways you were smarter:) You got the difficult aspects out of the way first!

I personally don't like the Class A aspect because those get hurt the most in a recession.

ArnThis is another aspect of real estate.

Before taking the plunge into your first investment property, meticulously analyze the property's financial aspects, vacancy rates, and potential expenses.

I agree with everything that's been said but I'll highlight probably the most important aspect an investor-focused agent will bring is the network and relationships.

The “limited” aspect refers to focusing on areas critical for the project at hand, rather than a full topographic survey of the entire property, which might be necessary for larger-scale developments.
