@Adam Taylor like Jordan shared, I will always recommend working with a seasoned and high quality broker in whatever market you choose to invest.

What or how would you compensate that person?

He is overbidding by an insane amount and still losing properties, usually to cash offers.I haven't done research into this for personal real estate purchases so looking for some pros/cons here from my idea.Can you take out a hard money loan to make a cash offer on a personal home.

I'm trying to find out where I can get  a good quality murphy bed. 

Obviously, a rational person isn't going to spend every dollar in the business account and would be pointless to let all cashflow sit in cash at a bank and never make any money personally.If you have any information to share, that would be appreciated.

And I of course am looking to attract quality tenants and get the experience of land lording where I can eventually walk away from my w2 before typical retirement age (I’m 31).

But let's keep it a great discussion and not a personal insult to those that do not agree with a perspective.

I personally have 12-doors there and focused on the BRRRR method when I was building my portfolio.

How much should I pay this person to manage the project and hire subs?

Once you get it, look up the process for filing a temporary restraining order against that person / those persons, and do it.
