Customer service is unresponsive.  

In return for excellent service I'll be offering repeat business and I'll happily provide referrals to my existing investor network for those top performers. 

Those that own it can be harder to sell as the cash flow from the business will cover the debt service for the business, but not for the real estate.Example: I had a very high-end assisted living facility on the market. 

I heard a podcast the other day with a host saying something along the lines of "there's 3 phases of investing: starting, scaling, and harvesting."

In Cumberland, a good 60+ % will qualify for this service.

There are best practices on certain items that provides a guidelines.Commissions are always negotiable like any other services, you can shop around for the best value for money.All depends on the risks that you are willing to take.

Financial Freedom Network I laughed at -- after reading the agreement, no comparable value for that monthly price -- 3 or so years ago, if value has changed now, my time-based disclaimer is as aforementioned -- and Legrand would do well to disconnect FFN from his name, as I believe FFN is now out-sourced, whatever.I empathize with you , Joe and the other responders, but when I read Legrand’s, and most of the other guru’s, contracts prior to trying a teaser product, it clearly stated in the agreement that if customer did not want the upgrade service for which the teaser/free product, free video, whatever, was being given away, then customer must cancel within the stated period of time, which almost always range from 30 to 90 days [60 days is becoming more common, as more folks forget to cancel]So long as terms to cancel are clearly stated prior to contracting, I don’t find it unethical, -- and real estate gurus have merely adapted a teaser or rebate marketing technique used in most every industry -- recently even Chrysler cars [try our minivan for 60 days!

Most hosts have a closet where they store extra supplies, so yes it's very important o have a locked supply closet.Hope this helps!

They would be putting in some money and their service as sweat equity, and we would be putting up money and my wife’s services. 

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.
