My goal here is to finally get into real estate investing and hopefully get my first property here soon.

I keep hearing about the rent to retirement company so I watched their online video.

You are living next door for a year so your choice to rent to someone may have a direct impact on your life (unless you are not home most of the time).Cheers and good luck!

Thanks Michael, those are the tools I'm using, just hoping to talk to a real person in the situation.

I don't plan on buying for another 8 months or more and I don't want them to think I'm just wasting their time but I do want to start seeing which agents will understand my goals and see what kind of opportunities each will send.I'm also trying to figure out if there is a minimum number of units I would need to work with a PM and how to find one?

Hey Marc, welcome to the world of real estate investing!

Most times its for a hard expense like insurance or mortgage interest but sometimes its for something like depreciation.

@Randall Tannen  could you please clarify what you meant by "non-residential real estate"? 

I wish i understood a little more about the details but I guess that’s something I’ll learn with time.

I decided that was too high at the time.
