Is the higher price agent inflating to get the listing or is the lower price agent just not keyed in well enough in the specific neighborhood? 

They don't communicate well, don't take responsibility for their actions, do not clean or maintain homes well, and will shaft you when it's time to leave.Other than that, it's a pretty good system.

If it would concentrate on rent collection only and do it well, it might be okay.

best of luck. i would network in that area and go to as many meetups you can and learn the area well

For the time being, might as well get a mortgage in one person's name.Best of luck.

This works well I would say 98% of the time.

I have a recommendation for a nice PM that does really well. 

And I copied that idea for the core of my portfolio (although I also invest in alot of passive deals as well, in the satellite portion for a core-satellite approach).

This is known as "margin".
