Out of the gate, I would encourage you to give some thought to the Buy Box. 

It’s our dream place, and we plan to operate it as a short-term rental while keeping personal use to about 14 days a year (plus the occasional work weekend).

I've helped and/or encouraged a lot of my investors to look at moving a lot of their revolving lines used for rehab projects over to LLC based credit cards as most of them do not report to personal credit.

I am a novice in the real estate sector and am looking to expand my knowledge and build personal wealth.

I always like to meet people in person but the majority of investors that work with me rarely meet me for years.

They just take a personal financial statement.

So, owners mistakenly think price is the only differentiator – and look for a PMC like they’d shop for groceries☹We encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others by reading posts here on BiggerPockets from owners that picked a PMC solely by price and regretted it.We recommend 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.Even if someone gives you a referral, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that just because a PMC met their expectations, they’ll meet your expectations.

If you’re serious about getting started, I’d really encourage you to start networking locally.

I would encourage you, at minimum, to prompt it to lose some of the major tells: the emoji/numbers you used, the use of bold font, and the em dashes. 

I appreciate everyone's input and encouragement!
