go to local meetups, they should have some here or try meetup app or eventbrite. continue to network and that can help you execute your plans.

@Ricky Smith if you continue to expand, how will you hire help w/o a PMC set up?

Other factors though may come into play though.  1. 

.- Management from the company that was involved in the rehab and knows the property will be managing the property for continuity and accountability.- That management company has vetted possible tenants through their professional screening process and have selected the most qualified tenant for the property.- The management company offers a hands-off approach including coordinating and managing repairs, getting the property rent ready after a move out and placing a tenant from a pool of applicants that may be waiting for a property to be ready.

She's not going to have any leg to stand on in court if you get that far unless there's some explicit language prohibiting the owner from assigning responsibilities to another legally authorized party, and I'm guessing there isn't if another PM company was maintaining the lease and provisions - and the fact that the tenant was voluntarily working with the other PM confirms the acceptance of an authorized agent even if it's not explicitly stated, the same way if you accept rent from a tenant after a lease expires you imply acceptance of the lease terms continuing (which is why you should always have a holdover provision). 

Quote from @Chris Magistrado:The point he's making is that the agent must take responsibility for building and maintaining their business, and the Broker won't play much of a role.

It's a forced equity and appreciation play with the benefit of personal use and the hope that 100% bonus depreciation comes back.

At this stage in my life, these equity plays are more impactful than holding onto a property for a couple hundred dollars of monthly cash flow.What’s your take?

So I used to work for a basketball tournament that played in Washington IL every year and so I often visited that town plus Peoria.
