A competent PMC will simply rent your property to the best tenants -quickly- and they will charge a nominal fee to manage your investment property with competence.

With cash value life insurance whatever is left after paying salesperson's commissions is earning a nominal return, you don't have the ability to invest these funds (unless you take a loan from the policy, think of this, you have to borrow your own money and pay interest to the insurance company on the loan!

That said I'm thinking about throwing a nominal amount of money at it to see how it does.

Keep in mind you will also have to pay transfer taxes based on the properties assessed value, even if the property is transferred from your name to an LLC for a nominal amount + incur deed prep and recording fees.

Equities, stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, silver and everything else is going to increase in nominal value but not necessarily in real value. 

I second the nomination to put @Steve Vaughan on the show. 

But, if the cost is fairly nominal, maybe under a couple grand, and you have no experience in real estate, including owning your own home and hiring contractors for that, then it is likely worth it.I would always start with a deep assessment of where you feel you don't have adequate knowledge.  

In a healthy Association, they've taken into account that this will need to be replaced, and have planned for it, essentially charging everyone who has lived there over the last 20 years a nominal amount to be put toward the new roof when it's needed.With an unhealthy Association, they try to keep HOA dues artificially low, and when a repair is needed, they levy a Special Assessment, which puts the financial responsibility on those who live there currently. 

I am thinking of charging a very nominal fee say 200 bucks for the entire year .. and have weekly webinar of different subjects.. folks can tune in.. they can tune out..

They may be nominal or they may not.
