I am thinking of hiring a virtual assistant to run the show on this side of the table so I can focus on sales. 

If you can't bring yourself to do it or don't know how to do it, hire the attorney and let them do it.

If you want to be into rentals know how to raise money legally and form Partnerships so you can invest in apartment complexes.Once you start buying a minimum of a 32 unit apartment complexes you'll be able to hire a Property Management Company to take care of the daily operations including the maintenance and tenant screening and still make a positive cash flow. 

You just hire independent contractors.

Not much different than hiring a property manager. 

Because of our familiarity with Florida, investing here and initially hiring property management isn't a bad idea either. 

Has anyone on here eve hired an asset or portfolio manager to manage their real estate portfolio to have true passive income.

Another $125 per year to hire a registered agent.

Then you need to figure out what your ideal property looks like (spreads/monthly cash flow etc...) then start moving on those deals.If you do not feel comfortable with a deal either have a more experience investor (that you trust) take a look or better yet I HIGHLY suggest hiring a mentor who can be there for you night and day to keep you on the right path.Trust me...

I'm looking into using RMLO services for an owner financed property that I'm acquiring.I'm curious on how much it would typically cost to hire an RMLO rather than get certified and do it yourself.
