Or is it best to work with an attorney and pay the extra money?

After a few months (and paying off alot of my debt) I realized I was making ok money and felt much more at ease in my life. 

Now, you have an appreciated first rental that’s hopefully generating cash flow, and a multi unit that provides a roof over your head and 1-3 units paying down your mortgage while all units continue to appreciate.

End up with a lot of cash and little to no tax each year.5.

I just want enough stable revenue to pay yearly expenses, hire a property management team, and pay the debt preferably in 5-10 years.

That's terrible, considering I can get a CD for 4% for 10 years, or an annuity at 6% for 10 years.Management companies want 20%, and property taxes and home insurance keep rising, considering I have no homestead exemption, so I am capped at 10%, not at 3%, and home insurance can do what it wants.Could someone please tell me where I am wrong, because in this case, it does not seem that this real estate is a good investment at all.

We have been signing agreements for more commission than the LA's are paying out.

For the person paying more than me - maybe they know something I don't.
