There are hundreds of thousands of people in this BiggerPockets community who are very successful at real estate investing and are willing to provide you with the same information as these guys, but for free. 

Because the chances of successfully concluding a wholesale transaction when you lack experience, knowledge and capital are so infinitesimally small that you’d be better off playing the lottery.  

With that being said, I wasn't an agent or property manager when I first started, but I did start out self managing because I'm local and because real estate investing became my passion and my career (I used to be a golf pro).

They love the nostalgia of it and wouldn't consider replacing such an important and historical thing.There is no script that will lead you to success in this, but friendly and collaborative will help.

Many exaggerate their successes to get you to invest with them.

No offense, but hire a PMC because:1) You hate the process of placing tenants.2) You didn't do a very good job of screening the current ones.Sometimes we have to get out of our own way to find success!

The Costa del Sol is one of the world's most successful tourism success in the world ever.
