I see a lot of new agents try to study on their own for a few weeks and they tend to just confuse themselves.2.

Although appraisers around the country tend to cover their butt and be conservative, we find little issue with these Memphis appraisals.However, @Jay Hinrichs  makes a very good point.  

You'll need maintenance people, inspectors, agents to show the property, etc.RentRedi doesn't handle any of that.Regarding finding a PMC:Recommend 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.

I withdraw my referral for opendoor i made above and will delete my comment because i no longer recommend them.

Create a referral program and then regularly market yourself to other agents.

Once you stand up to them, they tend to settle down.

Thanks for the recap, tend to agree that when it rains it pours, that things tend to stack up then go quiet again. 

Real estate investment tends to go like that. 

Right now, the system tends to create an environment where even lousy agents generally can't screw things up.
