Looking to buy a property management company in King County or learn from those who have experience with this type of transaction as a way to grow their real estate management business. 

Note* Cypress fencing is no longer available since the Wuhan Flu outbreak.Currently, these scrub trees growing taller exceeding my boundary just feet from the rear of my pool cage.The side neighbor (rental house)  has a large oak tree towering high with branches exceeding  my fence and rapidly reaching for the pool area.

@Jack Honroth, to piggyback off of Nicholas, I highly recommend that you house-hack your first deal.

Goal is to keep growing the portfolio in Baltimore. 

I don't recommend lying to get a mortgage.

I need ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY who invests, rehabs, and property manages in Birmingham to recommend contractors, agents, management companies, real estate attornies, etc that I could use.

But I have a sense that I'm not making the most of it and that I could potentially grow my portfolio if I made better use of the value in these properties.

If I can find a property in a smart market that makes sense, then I’d enjoy having another asset there, and growing a portfolio there.

Can you recommend from resources or things to consider?

My recommended approach here: make the VA hand off anyone that is even REMOTELY interested in selling over to you.
