You are very brave for doing this, but it sounds like a rewarding adventure! 

@Adam RossRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Arbitrage does not reward the pillars that OWNING RE does. 

That is how I've operated for years, well before the NAR fiasco and as agents, we have always been advised from referring to status quo, standard, typical, etc when it relates to commissions.It continues to amaze me how many buyers/investors believe the agent value is finding them "deals."

And if you’re listing the house online, try platforms like LoopNet or local Facebook groups for real estate or community housing.Just make sure to do your homework and ask for references, check their track record, and make sure they’re following any local zoning or licensing rules.

Even flips are getting razor thin margins (see reference below). 

That's not what I am referring to.

E government won’t use its ne found power to invalidate contracts to reward a bigger group of voters at the expense of a smaller group?

As someone with a managing broker’s license, I know how rewarding it is to guide others through their real estate paths while continuing to grow your own investments.

It makes sense for Airbnb/VRBO's algorithm to shoot new listings to the top of the search ranks to "reward" new hosts for coming on the platform.
