Too bad you aren't in my market or I could really help

It's not a fair partnership if you the tap the equity of their property to use together if you aren't brining any capital to the table.

But we can stay educated on trends.

No pocket listings = agents aren't even calling for new leads anymore, rising interest rate has nothing to do with an agent's ability to generate leads.If you mean multifamily apartments, 5 units and up, some of those agents will know, but not many until you are over 10 units which are more listed by only commercial brokers which I agree do understand seller finance.

I will say that they aren't really yurts, which are a light wooden frame with canvas or the like fabric.

If you are backing out of Florida because the properties aren't doing as well you like, why would you look for more units in a similar area and think the numbers will work there?

If you aren't interested in that I'd be glad to connect you with a killer agent in the outer banks. 

I just want to absorb as much education about property management business.

Bogleheads was the source of most of my formative personal finance education (for ~14 years), and it’s relevant because the SWR discussions there are typically in the 2-4% range.
