@Account Closed Wow. Thanks, Ryan. I just got off a REI networking call and I was just telling them the same thing. They gave me contact info for PM and how to search them. They were going to eat up at my profit and I barely have any so not the best option at the moment but maybe later. I think Illinois is not where I should be at the moment so time to pivot my investing towards vacation rentals.

I'm sorry that you're going through this, but I don't understand how being a woman in it alone has anything to do with people taking advantage of you. I run my own rentals, remodels, contractors, etc and have found that learning to be firm and professional is essential. It can be hard at times not to be emotionally involved, but there are ways to work through it. I screen based on the ***-hole factor. If a man treats me as inferior or incompetent, I push back. If he does not change his approach very quickly then he cannot rent from me or do business in any way with me. I have found that other women (Real Estate Agents) can be the hardest to deal with and that mature men will treat me with respect. It does take work but once you have a reliable team of people to do things for you, it gets easier. That being said, if managing your properties feel heavy, there is nothing wrong with finding a different niche (like commercial properties).
Thanks! Commercial does sound very interesting. I'll have to do my homework on everything and start building my team.
