Professional caretakers milking benefits have a long history of lying about the severity of conditions to help people like this stay in the home and continue making a living off them.If you really think this woman is insane, no one is being served by keeping her there except whoever's pretending to take care of her.

Be careful not to learn to much about current processes about how 99% of firms work because they are about to change.

But if you work with good realtor and property manage, they will take care of you.Good luck!

@Hunter Malott If you are looking to do wholesaling then I would be careful at calling the numbers on the signs you see.

When we lived further away I hired more things out (cleaning, yard care, small repairs)I have a great prop manager lined up for when I'm ready to fire myself from managing. 

We sprayed a nest that was forming, and apparently that didn’t take care of the bees.

Our setup has us splitting losses 50-50 as added insurance to the investor and as a way to show i have skin in the game. 

Hi, I'm Daniel from Culver City, CA and have been in commercial banking for over 10 years and recently passed the CA RE Salespersons test. 

I would be very careful about interpreting data, especially with real estate. 

Personally, I prefer to manage all my properties because a) no one cares about them more than me, b) there's no PMs in my town worth a crap anyway, c) my properties are fully renovated and rent so fast that PMs would do virtually no work for their pay anyway, d) I'm a control freak, e) I make more money.
