If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t because the agency is slow and makes mistakes all leading to you not getting paid.

The question is whether or not all parties will be actively involved in the deal (JV/partnership) or if there will be one lead/sponsor/general partner and the rest will be passive investors with expectations of return on their money (syndication).

Never give a tenant options, tell them what is expected and inforce it.Leniency leads to confusion, confusion leads to inconsistant results which leads to unhappy landlords.

So it seems that the missing components, which lead to the conflict of information, was the income level and RE Professional status. 

Whats the difference between a licensed broker and a consultant doing the same thing of giving a lead or referral?

I was told I'd receive 3-5 Zillow leads per month.

Not cheaper, just easier to deal with.There is nothing on the horizon which leads me to believe we are in for a market correction in the immediate future.

I have, however, a somewhat close relationship with the landlord I've rented from for the 8 years previous to buying my house, so somewhat familiar with the in's and out's and frustrations of rental properties.I'm just getting my toes wet and listening to YouTube videos, podcasts, reading content on the site, etc.
