A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.

There is also hard-money lending and in-house lending for the investors as well.

My advice is to find your niche and buy box, and do it well.

If anyone has intel on the best neighborhoods to invest in that would be helpful as well. 

Keep educating yourself while in your current job and also look for some smaller developers if they are looking for helpUnfortunately right now is a bad time to get into commercial as job market has gotten crushed but stay positive and ask consider residential side for now as well vs commercial

This works very well for me. 

A well-run PM will charge a minimum markup of 10-20% for maintenance - which is MUCH LESS than a General Contractor!

Evening all, Hope this post finds you well, feels like we have been running in circles for the last few months with no clear path in site.

I would love your info as well.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.
