Can we set up a time so we can talk?

Hello all, my husband(42) and I(36) are brand new real estate investors.

It sounds like you're in a solid position, and taking the time to stabilize before moving on to the next deal is a smart approach.

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am looking to invest first time with a turnkey developer,  who is buying the land and building a multi unit commercial retail center and some apartments.

We are wanting to add to our real estate investments, but are having a difficult time deciding which market to consentrate on. 

@Stephanie SelbyRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I am a part time agent and investor located in Leander, TX.

Nothing that can really do or happen but were you aware the borrower was in default at the time? 

If the property was in Hartford proper, we would tell you no to management since the tenant base is much harder, it is harder to get rent collected on time.
