Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I'm not thinking of 'scaling' my business by becoming a 'passive investor' in someone else's business.

Being proactive ensures you’re always a step ahead, minimizing risks and keeping your business running smoothly.Example: Imagine you implement an outdated tenant screening policy that inadvertently violates a new anti-discrimination law.

And real lenders don’t troll for business by texting.

They take good care of the properties, but there's not enough attention given to pricing strategy and they spend money like nobody's business (not a problem when they were spending their own money on the master lease model, but a BIG problem when they were suddenly spending OUR money as the PM).

@Alex R.I would be weary of anything involving Suncoast Property management.

If you know where any more notes are that can be acquired for $.10-$.20 on the dollar please let me and I might change my business model to a Note investor. :-)

We know that investing in real estate means building a business that incorporates the right investment strategy, tax & legal plan, financing, retirement planning, insurance & estate planning. 

This will set up your buy and hold business long term. 

When you mentioned selling and other investors being involved.
