Let my license expire in a difficult time in my life.

To be a property manager in Wisconsin requires you to have a real estate broker's license. 

Unfortunately, there are several barriers, including finding a seller willing to accept this loan, a lot of lender red tape, and then coordinating a qualified/licensed contractor to do all the work.

They are licensed, they are your fiduciary I hope you made them fix what they caused.  

Unless you ran a full credit, criminal, and eviction check using the tenants SSN and drivers license (which you must have their permission to do) you can't be sure that the records you are viewing are in fact one and the same person who was your tenant.

Because they are a professionally licensed business, a judge will hold them more accountable than you.

I am aware that I need a broker's license to manage properties that I do not own. 

I would suggest to get started on your education requirements to get your Real Estate License, to me it seems like a lot of the courses go over contract, and once you understand how a purchase and sale contract works, then you can go out and write offers, and purchase properties.4.

Otherwise you're  practicing real estate brokerage without a license.
