You get to show buyers the same models over and over and do not take people all over town.

Your post here, while I have not gone through the link's yet, seem's to squarely hit the nail on the head.

Once you hit a certain number of loans (check with your state dept of banking and finance or dept of business regulation), they might require you to have a license.

Just like you can't hit homeruns on every deal, sometimes your better off taking some lesser deals in there too just to grow. 

It’s hit and miss, really need to deeply understand what they offer, if they will work for you or against you, whether they sign the lease or you (I prefer me, to reduce that lock jn).

Most people can't afford that hit to their income.I recommend the two college towns, Tuscaloosa and Auburn, as having affordable houses, high rents, stable tenant supply, a number of very good management companies and landlord-friendly courts.

The owners who switch to a PM come to me for the same reasons Drew said above.It is not rocket science, most folks hit a point where they no longer want to trade their time for money. 

Also, he can do the above deal or two or three, all day long now that he knows how to do it and has me help analyze the deal and market.This hit his personal life just right. 

When Helene/Milton hit we had local displacements and I suspended any rising rates (rising naturally due to spike to demand).
