You can keep your teaching job and do this on the side, part time won't be as demanding on the body.

I would even venture to say that bringing financing weights more unless the partner is a very experienced, hands-on REI.

I think you should report that agent to the realtor's governing body and have that investigated...I'd guess the realtor could lose their license if there is a way to prove what they have been doing.

For a time, I own rentals as well as active businesses and a knowledgeable agent is worth its weight in gold.Most insurance companies are local, as the insurance business are state regulated.

I actually lost weight and got very little quality sleep.  

Before you make a decision out of aggravation: weight the pros and cons.

One could argue that 60/40 makes sense to give you voting weight but that can also be accomplished at 50/50 via the partner agreement.  

I was sadly mistaken they still assigned the appraisal to a residential appraiser and comps nearby were the limit of their valuation.The values  as an example were:Comparable sales approach - 390kIncome approach - 485,000 - starkly higher when capitalizing the incomeCost Approach - 413,000Then at the end of the report there is language that says " with the most weight of value going towards the sales comparable approach with value at $390,000 ."

That is important to understand because the rest of the body of those regulations should be known just as much as what was changed or added on by DF.
