I have been in the construction business since I was 17 and held a real Iestate broker license active since I graduated from  with a business degree that emphasized real estate (in 1980).I believe that property management will help you in investing.  

And I am blunt about seeking profit while I help them….but if I can't solve an important problem for them, I emphasize that I won't insult them with a low-ball offer and will simply let them know we can't make it work for both parties and why.

I've been emphasizing buying the property right so that after rehab I get the benefits of great cash flow and equity I could pull out for further investing. 

This emphasizes the importance of a great team and perseverance in the face of failure and disappointments.

@Juan Mendoza you can obtain a Broker's license at age 18 if you have 4 semesters of college credit emphasizing real estate at an IDFPR-approved school (in addition to completing the usual requirements).

I can't emphasize this enough.

Almost all speakers emphasized the need for asset protection, and that the best way to do this is through ownership via an LLC.

Then, you are charged a $150 move-out inspection fee.From the quotes I got from other PM companies in the area, it looks like they really emphasize that their maintenance team does inspections while they go in for any routine maintenance that is needed. 

@Marco Rodriguez - any feedback on what the actual returns are in comparison to targeted, given the “zero fee” by CS emphasized in many reviews?

The rehab on a project has the potential to make or break a deal, and I would emphasize that even more if aren't familiar with the construction process and its associated costs.I recommend reaching out to local contractors for quotes on tasks you envisage carrying out on deals you are pursuing.Most contractors at small rehab level will know to single digit % margins what the $ cost would be per square foot.
