Yes i have read it and anyone who has read it and understood it could not possibly interpret this as an NAR win, there are still outstanding lawsuits by the way, The NAR will lose a lot of members, a lot of income, and most importantly, a lot of political power as a result of all this, the financial payout is nothing compared to all this.

We manage a lot of properties in C class areas, there is money to be made, but you need a quality asset,  a great screening system, and you need to be able to realistically quantify the risk. 

I have had the pleasure to work with some outstanding agents over the last couple years and while they are all doing well, they fail to develop the kind of gravity you would expect to see from their completley different level of skills and performance.

There's also a very underappreciated fund that will be a distant 4th but likely the best of quality.

We prefer to handle this because tenants often don’t find high-quality replacements on their own.In our market, we usually need a 30-60 day notice prior to move-out to fill the unit.

Flipping isn't too worrisome for me because I know in times like these I just need to make sure my quality is there and that my pricing is a little more aggressive to keep the project moving.

Sharing profits with your GC can give them extra incentive to do quality work and stay on schedule. but it's essential to have a clear agreement in place to avoid misunderstandings.

These are all more important determinants of tenant quality than a credit score.

Buy quality and you should be okay for the next 25+ years.

Renting by the room would increase your rental income, but you may sacrifice in your own quality of life having to manage so many tenants.
