However, I can teach you the business fundamentals, and you could potentially help me with lead generation.

Spend your time trying to grow your business.

You can generally deduct your business expenses not paid by the borrower.If you’re running a lending business, no matter how small, like any other business, you can deduct all reasonable and customary expenses.

So you have financial outfits getting involved in businesses that had long been left to small owners or specialized funds.

To increase the effort others put into building my business I offer a 1,000 referral fee to anyone who tells me about an unlisted property that I buy.

A business does not base their business plan on possible RE appreciation and sale of that building.

You might also meet someone that could be a potential business partner.

Lets face it, some 10 or even 20 numbers you could just write it down on a piece of paper or an old fashioned addressbook...You mentioned:  "I'm assuming PM collect the payments, manages the lease, track tenant activities etc." 

My only concern is what if they close shop or sell their business?

Alot of selfish liars on this post, we all know most ppl who get into the business started from nothing to make something.
