Family circumstances (mom has cancer) have me considering it now, though I had always planned on transitioning as I got more properties.

Also your learning and its good for everyone else that again low end rentals you will NEVER get good credit scores.. waste of time.. its why these people rent these homes and they are pretty much lifers.. so what the PM"s I know do is basically run credit to see if they are paying their cell bill etc.. if those are bad they deny.. but just because they have a 480 fico .. is not a reason to deny.. most simply won't make the standards that a A class property manager or owner would require.And yes you should have to pay for those inspections its someones time.. not only do they have to go there they have to call make appointments etc.. in these low end assets.. to me personally  this is not property management.This is a step above this is ASSET management tenants are unmanageable many times its all about protecting the asset.

He is a cancer survivor and since this experience, I want to dedicate my life to spending as much time with my family as I can and traveling.

@Steve McGovern  nice post  if I was to box myself in using your back groundI guess I would say I am a wildcatter.. drill for oil and prey.and or I was the pimp out there trying to get ahead of you and ty up the cell tower sites before you got them  LOL.. that's what I did in Timber I got ahead of the mills then sold them the wood for a tidy profits.

In case you misunderstood me, I'm talking about outlets where you can plug in both a lamp and a cell phone USB cable like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L9IQP7I/ref=asc_df_B0...Why would you not add grab bars in the tub or shower? 

Our 32-year-old daughter-in-law, the mother of four young children, has developed breast cancer. 

In retail, the small box (Think Cell phones, vitamin store etc) and c-store (convenience store) sectors are growing pretty steadily as well.

I would be really curious to see how you're visualizing the design so it doesn't seem like you're living in a jail cell.

I provide Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Go (which I get for "free" as a promo with my cell phone provider).  

We are on 70/30 splits with ZERO fees, tiered splits for top performers, tons of software, digital phone system that rings all agent's cell phones at the same time giving everyone equal opportunity to capture leads, online "cookie jar" lead distribution systems, quarterly brokerage sponsored parties for clients and vendors, employee appreciation parties, 3 huge reflective yard signs, open house signs, and lockboxes paid by brokerage, opportunities to mold our systems to whatever we want as soon as we come up with a good idea, but the best part......the feeling of family and support we have for each other despite the competitive nature of the industry.
