If you hire a PM, usually from what I'm hearing, Padsplit PM charges about 8% and some just charge a $800 per month flat fee because it's relatively easy I guess.

You can usually find some events by doing a simple google search.

If you lose 50% on an investment you have to make 100% to get back to even, people don't usually think about that.

Condos can have lower purchase prices, but SFH usually have better outlook on appreciation.

Expect to spend a considerable amount of your time speaking to people.Expect to work dozens of hours/week with little to no immediate result.Expect most of your early interest from potential clients to come from your sphere of influence.Expect to go 3-6 months without getting paid (unless you do rentals which usually pay faster)Expect to be bombarded with distractions - mainly, people/companies marketing to you so that you choose their system for quick and easy buyer or seller leads.

It is usually a smaller step than you think.

Looks like your usual method to pay people and make them sign NDA is not really working.

I can usually have a handyman do these for $50-$100 .

However, you will have PMI for life of loan most likely and there are usually higher premiums to originate FHA loan.

No PM wants the state digging into their records, so it will usually force them to contact you and negotiate a settlement and make your complaint go away.If that doesn't work, then I recommend you contact an attorney.
