You'll want to have the confidence of data to back up your decision when the going gets tough.

My family had rental property when I grew up so I've at least been exposed to making repairs between-tenant and all the other fun landlord tasks.With that said, it seems the current market, at least in my area is pretty tough to get the numbers to work, single family especially.

My credit history is not great (missed couple of payments few years back) and I am having tough time securing a loan (borrowing close to million dollars).

I know a lot of company provides handman service, but in our case we're looking for a full time employee.

Getting a license isn't the tough part.

Tough rental market.  

I'm also willing to work as an employee for a brokerage or team. 

Still, at the same time, they refuse to buy my condo, putting me in a very tough situation where I had to foreclose on the apartment to find out later that they picked up the property at the foreclosure court for pennies.If you're concerned about repairs, don't be.

Jersey is a tough market.

From this list I’d definitely do the due diligence in asking the tough questions and making sure it’s a win-win.
