Quote from @Marc Rapuano: Hello,I am very much interested in beginning to invest in commercial real estate and I think having a mentor would make my intro go much more smoothly and efficiently.  

I’ve studied the basics and have some experience, but my biggest challenge is connecting with the right lenders and property management companies to make it work smoothly from a distance.Does anyone here know of a good Section 8–focused mentor/coach who can work one-on-one or provide guidance?

A few key things I’ve learned that can really impact the numbers are:- Understanding local market demand and regulations, since that affects occupancy and stability-Factoring in costs for proper management and resident support services, those keep the home running smoothly and reduce turnover-Being realistic about timelines for filling beds and the importance of vetting operators who align with your goalsThese factors can significantly influence the financial viability and stability of the investment.

Focus on defining your niche, getting licensed and insured, and building systems early so you can scale smoothly.

Real estate attorneys play a huge role in keeping deals smooth and secure, so your insights will definitely be valuable here.Looking forward to learning from your contributions, and I’m sure others will appreciate having you as a resource.

More importantly make sure you have your house rules, agreements, and home organization set up to make things smooth for all your tenants.
