And you should jump in, the community is pretty great here.

My name is Jazmin Florence and I am a new member to the BiggerPockets community.

Hello BiggerPockets  Community,I'm a contractor/consultant in Northern Virginia providing Home Automation (The Internet of Things - "Smart" devices), Security & AudioVideo design & installation services for both commercial and residential properties.

Welcome to the community @Sherrod Mcgowan and all the best on the first deal

The economy is stagnant, and support stuff such as property management and handyman are not readily available on top of low quality tenants that comes with high churn.

We've even discussed purchasing and living in a property that we would then later turn into a rental while we work on figuring out our first steps.I came across this site researching a "coaching" advertisement and it looked like a great and diverse community.

And you should jump in, the community is pretty great here.

Feel free to jump in the community here and also take advantage of the treasure of knowledge here.

There are certainly going to be some tried and true elements, but we believe as technology, culture, etc. change that so may business structures and practices.With all of that said, as brokers and agents, what service, support, and features are most valuable and most attractive to you in where you choose to do business?

I would be surprised if you found many rehabbers in boston that troll this site looking for a lender.. or at least that would meet your requirements I suspect you already have those targeted and like  most of us in the business today we spend most of our time supporting KNOWN players to us.. instead of trying to cast a huge wide net and or train newer folks.
