I am also willing to work for a more experienced investor or property management company in any capacity, be that market research, deal sourcing, property management assistance, rental optimization, or anything else needed.

You will get killed on the C and D properties which are usually the majority of most properties handled by a metro PM company. 

It is a great company.

if anything then I would set a flat fee to pay them for their service and then if you do find a property that offers buyers agents money, in which almost all I have seen still do...then I would have the title company back out the amount you decided on and the agent gets the remainder of the amount of commission that's left over. 

I would try to subscribe to Angies List to determine a suitable mortgage company.

As for soft costs, you’re looking at a fair amount for a condo conversion-there are legal docs to have drawn up, reviews, surveys, recordings, setting up the HOA, reserve studies etc.

OH gosh I just read this and this is what led a company I worked for in the 80s into a massive BK loaning between partnerships..

I am a CT based investor, flipper and property management company owner.  

But the road crosses 3 other properties for which there is no legal access.  

The ones that build out great companies build the skills, then they teach the skills to people to set calls for them, go to appointments for them and they continue to build out their company as a marketing/sales operation that is more fluid to create more revenue.
