@John Slater - So you knowingly associate with James Piccolo, whom the Arizona Corporation Commission fined $6 million dollars in restitution and fines for defrauding 105 investors with unregistered deed of trust investments?

But trust is earned and as I learn more (and remain open to pivoting to MTR and LTR), not sure in our specific case, the 30% is worth it (which is the going rate locally) and can be in the range of $30K+ per year.

Personal Circumstances: Consider your comfort level with debt and risk.

Quote from @Jacklyn Robins: Sorry, I clearly misunderstood your level of experience.

Confirm that the warranty applies to the type of property you own and consider whether the annual cost and service call fees make sense compared to just handling repairs yourself or using your own trusted contractors.

quickest way to lose your license is trust fund violations.

Since they are responsible for maintaining the relationship with you after the transaction closes, this approach adds an extra layer of confidence and security to your investment.If you can't find an investor agent that you like or trust that is also a Property Manager or works under a brokerage that has a Property Management Division, I would ask the agent if they recommend a Property Management Company.

And I find many tenants in this class level really connect with it if there an ideal tenant.

These are things at the high level I want to be looking at for all my real estate purchases. 

If the owners are saying that, then it is not to be trusted.
