You could read 100 books and still need to learn more because certain things must be learned through trial and error.

I would buy 1 quality local single family home ASAP, under full market value, so I have an out if I want to sell.I would buy this property with the mindset that I am going to hold it forever, but with a 2-3 year “ trial period” mindset too, where if I don’t like REI and landlording, I can sell and still recoup my money and dump it into index funds.REI isn’t for everybody, but I’m glad I’m doing it.

I've actually been working with private money lending for a while now, and I've seen a lot of variations in terms and conditions.

The big difference is there is no 100 night free trial offer.

OJ's was taken as evidence because it had blood stains in it, then destroyed after the trial.

I did the 7 day trial with Renatus and it's very organized information but it's very pricey for their premium package.

I like your idea of doing a 1 year trial with the PM (you've already done most of the hard work finding new tenants and coordinating repairs). 

Other seem to want to hang the guy without a trial.

Typically, you’ll need to use an online listing service, where you can either participate in a free trial or pay a fee to view listings.

Real estate doesn’t have to be trial-and-error—it’s about leveraging expertise and proven strategies to win from day one.
