What role will you do as they all seem vastly different - Multifamily Operations, Acquisitions or asset management?

almost every strategy takes cash.it's really tough to find deals right now and the vast majority of properties won't work as rentals.can you start with a house hack? 

The vast majority do not..

Many will hate this uncomfortable truth, because the vast majority were in fear mode, eating up YT BS about the end of everything.

A lot of first-time investors are looking in Bloomfield (great train access), but the taxes are high and the players in the game are vast.

@Garry Miller I suggest you also check out the wide array of excel models at Adventures in CRE.And thanks for sharing.

There are definitely people out there that will treat others poorly no matter how nice you are to them, but it has been my experience that the vast majority of humans are good people and have good intentions. 

Lastly, I believe you can learn just as much by simply educating yourself in all areas of the game with the vast amount of free information on the internet.

It definitely provided me with clarity on some things and helped to narrow my scope as I venture into this vast sea of REI.

We don't do formal renewals, our lease automatically converts to a MTM and with the vast majority of our tenants staying for years, it comes down to an annual routine in spring.I totally agree about the open market approach.
