This part seems daunting...because I have been accussed (not on this forum) as coming across as passive aggressive...and although I feel we all have a ying and yang quality to us...I don't want to jeopardize my chance to clearly and artfully express my case.

Hi, my name is Erick Yang and I am currently a sophomore at the University of West Georgia.

I think it can be kind of a yin and yang thing.When someone asks about how specific deals went down a response could be " Hey I do not feel I need to tell you that " OR " Hey I would love to share how my latest deal went down here are the specifics "I did take a look at Justin's website briefly and there are some podcasts and other things on there.I particularly like another flippers format in exact details on deals done with spreadsheets posted to their website .

There is a good podcast dealing with the Vegas market in Podcast 13 with Leon Yang.

But, the MLS (and any FSBO marketing) pales in comparison to working with an agent who has a strong network, a great reputation and the ability to market your properties.In my opinion, you have two choices:1.

I guess if looking at a full report saved you from renting to a tenant that trashed the place and got 2 months free rent the annual hundreds of dollars in phone cost would pale in comparison.

Only a pale shadow of Vegas, but there are quite a few of them within walking distance of each other.

Rent ready condition and resale condition are 2 different things.In most states to manage other people's properties you HAVE to be licensed period.Unless you employ them or other loopholes available in your state.I am telling you that YOU WANT to use a property manager.If you try to cut a few bucks it will cost you severely later on.Look at www.irem.org These are highly trained property professionals.There is a search down to the area for broker/agents.REALTOR doesn't mean squat and it has nothing to do with licensing or training as a property manager.Do not look for agents who will do a rental cheaper on the side.They will not screen the tenant properly,will not check up on the property enough,as soon as a regular sale comes along many will dump your property as a priority for a big sales check.This is why you want a property manager that only does rentals and not sales.They have a vast network of tenants and a system in place to handle problems.They have already pre-screened tenants.That small amount of money you think you will be saving will pale in comparison when you have months of lost rent,damage to the property,re-doing eviction because the broker/agent messed up the papers and bought the tenants another 2 free months.Take it from someone that deals with over 20 tenants as an investor or default home owner having to rent.
