You can always ask for references.  

Nick, are you referring to a HELOC on your primary home then using it to buy an investment property?

This market is both challenging and rewarding, ready to deliver for those who approach it with insight and a solid strategy.

This is often referred to as an “owner's draw.”

The risk/reward just doesn't add up. 

But about service based businesses, you're referring to something like a lawn care or pet sitting type of thing?

Any reference point of return?  

I would love to have a call with someone with an intimate knowledge of what I am looking to do or be referred to a rockstar commercial agent in eastern Florida.

@Paul DentingerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.
