Quote from @Rene G.:

@Jay Hinrichs I've been doing this for free for years. Who are these people, got any names? I'm in this forever and that's why I'm the Forever Landlord. lol I'm not going no where. It's crazy how people want to hate on others. Why don't you thinks it's good to master something and as you get older, I'm 39 now and then want to give back? After COVID when I had nothing to do, I got bored and kinda depressed. It taught me that I needed something to do "forever" NEVER RETIRE! So I committed to being the best landlord helper I could. There is no shortage of people needing help with their DIY property management. I love getting to know small mom and pop landlords and helping. This gives me meaning and purpose. After I got out the military I had a buddy (we called him Smitty) commit suicide because he lost purpose. Tell me what's wrong with what I'm doing? Why is this bad? I don't get it. I'm truly trying to understand. 

its your tag line   it leads one to make the assumption your selling a course .. I apologize that I took it that way..  we all give back in our own way.. a few years ago I organized a group of very successful BP members and raised over 200k for the charity we started 100% of the funds went to the home we bought and rehabbed Not one dime went to overhead etc. and gave a home away debt free to a deserving veteran there in Memphis.. I found raising money for charity is quite hard. When I started I thought with my voice on BP and my willingness to give 30 minutes to an hour of my time in exchange for a charitable donation I would raise the money in a matter of months.. took almost 2 years :( and BP was so kind to allow us to present at BP con.. 

Although I will say this as I have been in the Mid west east coast D C B rentals for over 23 years now and I owned at one time over 300 SFRS of this type.. Out of state owners trying to self manage I dont think personally is realistic .  I think it can be with Class A top end props where the tenants have 700 plus ficos  but you try to do this with SEction 8 or really any area of C class on your own and the risks are quite high. Even for me I found it was too tough to manage all these lower end rentals so I sold them all.  However one does need to pick the right manager and I do think they need to also buy the best property they can.. many investor bring pain to themselves by buying lower end properties and thinking the PM is going to be able to manage them like they are A class.. the renter class in the US can be quite difficult to manage given their 1 financial upset from missing rent.
