You'll still have to discipline yourself to keep funds separated from personal, which can be done by setting up a new bank account called "Teske Rentals".As for professionalism, I think you're looking at it wrong.

Discipline is the key to being successful though.  

If you wipe out your housing and transportation expenses, you may find that the rest is just discipline.

Being confident in the numbers and recognizing YOUR strategy allows you to be disciplined in determining how far you’re willing to go in the purchase or sale of a property, realizing of course, that sometimes the best deal is the deal that’s never done.

If you just starting out in the business I strongly suggest you research and join a brokerage that has strong training program covering all the Real Estate disciplines. 

I am looking for that tweener I guess someone that has the discipline to save a little cash so they can do the repairs and is computer literate ( I am not) so they can post pictures  and do updates and write about it. 

@Ramesh Ramdatt, Excellent discipline on your part.  

You can blow it or put it to work for you when you use it with discipline and with a deliberate purpose. 

But then again there are companies that are set up and that's all they do is like pay day loans for RE agents who are not self disciplined enough to pay tax's.OK there are some other pearls and perspectives of someone who has actually started at the bottom and worked 40 years to get to the top only to get crushed again in 08 to 2010 LOL. 

He is focused and disciplined.
