This allows you to gain experience and understand the responsibilities of being a landlord without being overwhelmed by a large investment.

I’m not actively seeking investment properties for myself right now; my priority is delivering outstanding service to clients while I continue to learn and grow in the industry.I would greatly appreciate any tips, lessons learned, or “new-manager mistakes to avoid” from seasoned property managers and investors in the group.

Quote from @Mary Jay: Quote from @Henry Lazerow: Get these spammy AI responses out of here ^ 🤮P.S. you shouldn’t buy either those rent to purchase ratios are way too low.

Next pick a market with good landlord laws, growing population and local economy (make sure you know what is driving the growth as well). 

I've learned that their are typically 3 reactions...1- Learn & Grow.

@Todd Anderson thank you for the detailed response.

Two Years, Eight Figures, and a Very Steep Learning CurveMost people think being a general contractor is about tools, trucks, and telling people where to put walls.After my first two years actually running a GC company in Indianapolis—and managing eight figures’ worth of construction at Off Leash Construction—I can tell you it’s much more about:• Managing risk• Communicating clearly (and constantly)• Saying “no” when it would be easier and more profitable to say “yes”• Protecting investors from their properties, their budgets, and sometimes themselvesI didn’t grow up dreaming of being a general contractor.

Looking forward to everyone's responses!

Best of luck as you continue to grow!

You’ve gotten a great response from Alan already, and honestly, I’d say a lot of the same things.Since you’re going into the Air Force, take advantage of the benefits you have right now.
