Hey Sue, welcome.  I was in the same boat many years ago.  I decided to manage my own properties and it worked out well.  I made sure to screen well and I did not have any problems.  If you have any questions or need any help feel free to contact me.

Good luck, I am looking to take the test at the beginning of next year.  Let me know how the real estate trainer course works out.

My name is Joe Sherman, I have been in the real estate business on a personal level since 1998 when I bought my first home.   I have managed my own properties from 1999 until 2013.  During that time, I became a licensed realtor in 2006.  I worked full time and worked as a real estate agent part-time.  No marketing just taking clients by word of mouth.  I averaged about one transaction a year.  I am now looking to get into the real estate business full time, more from an investment standpoint on a buy and hold level; but would like to work with flippers as well.  I look forward to all I can learn as well as all I can contribute to BiggerPockets.
