@Zachary SchimenzI understand the convenience of clicking on line for quotes.  

I've been leaning towards KW Ballantyne area but have recently discovered eXp Realty and studied their model and am pretty torn.Both seem like great options however being a hands on learner I feel like having the office environment with warm bodies to engage with will be beneficial for me personally. 

I would recommend finding an experienced property manager in your market and leaning on their experience. 

You can also run multi-head systems, which are great for comfort and convenience but expensive up-front. 

I am leaning towards turn-key because I have a great job that takes most of my time.

It's a good idea in concept, but the front end load charges for their services are pretty steep so you have to put a really high premium on the convenience of annuitizing your current holdings. 

I am leaning back to being an agent as the market changes to see where things pan out.Many agents do part time and it works [I kinda work part time but I've been doing it for 25 years] and when I get busy it is all consuming.Getting your license is just a matter of time and a few hundred bucks, you can go each step and see how it goes.

For example, I think we are late cycle, so I lean toward the safest part of capital stack which is debt (or debt free equity).

If you work with the right agent, they will have experience and will bring a whole team that you can lean on (attorneys, lenders, contractors, etc).

I am leaning towards vacant; 1 less thing for me to do, appeals to a broader array of buyers and way easier to show the propertey.
