Anyway thank you to anyone who can try and offer me a little help, it's greatly appreciated. 

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

AND just because you have experience and a “good deal” doesn’t mean you will be successful trying to syndicate the deal.The first criteria is does the sponsor have the general knowledge and experience in real estate, and the specific knowledge and experience in the property type/location to give the project the best shot at success?  

I'm at 80% trying to get to 100% currently.

They should be proactively communicating with you as to why they can't find a tenant and discussing options with you.PM's do get busy, so before firing them, try to have an open conversation to find out why it took so long and what can be done to rent faster in the future.

Have we tried asking him if he is interested in steady monthly income backed by real estate?

Budgeting for furniture and coordinating the time to execute or hire a designer is something we try and factor into our Pro Forma or analysis.

You can measure the success of the brokerage by the number of agents that leave after a few years, to start their own brokerage, and whom become successful (some just leave because it's bad and try it on their own and never quite get it).
