While there were advantages, we found the disadvantages far outweighed them.

It sounds like the overall message is that the value I would gain from working with a CPA would outweigh the cost of doing so, even if on paper, it seems very expensive. 

I suppose there's the possibility that you can only work on so much at once and the leads may outweigh what you can handle.

I think the pros of being a Realtor outweigh the cons.The Broker I work for is very flexible and allows me to run my business any way I want to.

It seems like offering this could be a good way to differentiate yourself, and command a higher rent - but the costs may outweigh this.One other concern I have is that, if I needed to use a property manager if I'm not in the area to self-manage, the management fees needed to get the place rented twice a year would really stack up.Appreciate any opinions/experiences people have with this kind of strategy.Thanks,Mike
