However, I would encourage you to finish up your current loan before doing anything.  

While not explicit, the contract is written in such a way to encourage a commission, and discourage an hourly pay structure.   

This is why my deposit is always higher than the rent.This encourages the tenant to pay the last months rent and clean the house so they their higher deposit back.

Let’s pool our knowledge and resources to create something truly meaningful for the next generation!

While the listing agent may encourage you to offer a buyer’s broker commission to motivate them to have their client consider the property, A) they buyer should now have an agreement regarding the commission and B) the buyer will see the property on online platform, diminishing concerne about the broker steering away from properties that don’t offer a buyer’s commission. 

Thank you for the encouragement!!

I appreciate that encouragement!

I think i remember reading that you can also demonstrate accreditation status by working in some capacity for the syndicator, or also by working "meaningfully" in real estate anywhere in some capacity, and these don't have a dollar value ie. the 300k joint filing or 1Meg net worth threshold. but the amount of due diligence required to invest in a private syndication is/should be a lot, which always are more opaque than a public RE investment, like REITs, is something you may want to avoid until you have been involved in RE directly for some timeconsider mortgageREITs, eg.

Thanks for the encouragement, Zach!

@Michael MattinglyRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
