My name is Nick Barker, and I decided to create an account after listening to the BP RE podcast religiously on the way to and from work everyday for the last three months. 

PMs have a very difficult job and I'm of the belief that a 10% fee doesn't support the model for "great" property management. 

That is my belief as the way to handle the situation.

That is a very limiting belief.

Do you have any beliefs or habits that have helped you achieve success?

Some people hedge their bets, and go 50/50 fixed/variable (or some other ratio according to their best gambling/research beliefs, but then focus on paying one down quicker than the other once rates actually change). 

hey im glad to see other 20-30 year olds on here with the same mind set as myself. im still looking for my first deal aswell a few things i do is check some of the popular real estate apps religiously every dayive also tried direct mailing on some properties ive driven by in hopes of finding a deal but lately not many people and interested in parting with their properties, but the key i keep telling myself is when you get a door closed in your face go to the next one and keep trying!

To back up that belief, my wife and I dedicate a minimum of 10% of our income to giving each month, and we also make additional one-off donations as well to charities that positively impact our local community. 

We are forcefed propaganda to reinforce this belief exactly like geese being fattened for slaughter.

If you are doing real estate full time, become an "expert" in your niche, establish a solid investment criteria that is aligned with your beliefs, investment goals and risk tolerance and start growing from there.
