If you’re looking to invest locally, it helps to network with as many people in the industry as you can.

If the GC is licensed, you can file a complaint with the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board (OCILB).Website: https://com.ohio.gov/divisions-and-programs/industrial-compliance/boards/ohio-construction-industry-licensing-boardComplaint form: https://dam.assets.ohio.gov/image/upload/com.ohio.gov/documents/dico_ContractorComplaintForm.pdfThey take complaints seriously, especially if the contractor is:- Submitting inflated invoices to insurers- Performing work without clear written approval- Using lien threats as pressure tactics- If the tree company or GC is unlicensed, you can still report them—but that’s a red flag in itself.3.

I like the REIT approach to RE investing as a complement to buying my own MFRs and SFRs - it seems like a good way to stay in the industry while growing my capital for the next property purchase. 

Quote from @Anaujah Curry: I am 26 years old, an extremely beginner into the real estate industry.

Good evening,My name is Robert and I have been in the real estate industry for the past 16 years. 

Now one of those owners is listing their home and we have $100k+ of future reservations on the books that would amount to probably around $20,000+ in cancelation penalties.I think Airbnb/VRBO really need to come out with an official and very public policy about how this affects PM's, otherwise it seems like they could be quietly making an entire industry that they rely on (property management) unfeasible, because as managers the properties are under our account, but we don't fully control them.And that's just the fines. 

The agent/realtor industry is very oversaturated...

It's on a 41-acre site at the southeast corner of Farm to Market Road 1626 and Plum Creek Meadows in Kyle, a suburb about 20 miles south of Austin that recently ranked as the second-fastest growing city of its size.The Kyle project is a flexible industrial product that can be used for office and retail, said Dan Lewis, TIG's Austin-based vice president and director of leasing.

My name is Bill and I've been in the property management/real estate industry for the past 5 years!

Hey Eric,How long have you been in the industry for?
