I didn't commit to the wholesaler, just checking out all avenues as I continue to study up on REI. 

I have made enquiries with a property management company in Tampa and they have sent me details of their charges and a copy of the agreement.I am only a small investor with 1 property currently and I have a few issues with the rental agreement (I've not committed to this or signed anything) as it seems that the agent (PM) is not responsible for non payment by the tenant, even though they charge for screening the tenant prior to contracting with them.

Once you hit millionaire status in 5-10 years (average, I think, for folks who commit everything to the goal) you can always just buy another cool house for yourself. 

Do you now have a W-2 employment or private people who have made a commitment to you?  

It is a very difficult timeline, but then again, if it's a really good deal and you are committed, you will find a way to make it happen.2.

It takes time and serious commitment to achieve what J has.

I was told that they may do a rental revenue commitment that they must meet.

I have a commitment to rebuilding communities in my heart.

If you're dead set on operating in the cheapest neighborhoods then do it closer to home and be sure you can commit the time to be very hands on and learn the business.

I reckon you really need to find and gel with a great Property Manager in that locale - BEFORE committing!
