I'm sure there are great benefits to attending some classes in person, but I managed to pass 1st time without it! 

Whether it be door knocking or just searching listings for them this can be an amazing way to spark a relationship with someone that is more experienced than you and gain some knowledge on how purchasing properties works.

We are looking for a group that we can form a mutually benefiting  relationship where we can work together to achieve our goals.

I've done a fair amount of research into the benefits and drawbacks of different markets, but selecting one over the others feels like guesswork.

It benefits my property so I didn't think so...Driveway on the left is the one I am purchasing.

We believe offering the tenant options that make paying rent easy works to our benefit.

Thus negating any benefits of my setup?

I'm a 25 year old new grad RN and recently been looking into Real estate in a hope of gaining some financial freedom.

You may even want to set up different entities for the different type of activities you'll be involved in to maximize tax benefits.

Another benefit of owner/manager is that your residents will see you taking care of, or not, the property and will do the same as you do.
