I am a bit too good at math and a bit too honest for the trade.

I'd highly suggest joining every single buy/sell/trade group for the city your property is in and posting it with the terms.

I don’t want to give this to her on a silver platter, so property management will be a mandatory trade for fueling her dreams but at least she will understand this option and see how assets and liabilities work.I am posting this here so feel free to add your two cents.

@Kenny Dahill I've never bartered with a tenant or traded work on a property for reduced rent.

Pay attention to conversations where you uncover someone is a contractor or works in a specialized trade.

Are you able to trade it in and get an older model with no monthly payment, This is something to consider.I have never heard of someones age hurting them in real estate in regards to obtaining a loan.I highly recommend house hacking and you have a great credit score so you could utilize a FHA loan (low down payment) on a duplex or a single family home and rent out the additional rooms.You need to do ample research before embarking on this however.

As lance mentioned you'll want to compare the option of being 1099- the trade off is you pay self employment tax, have to manage your own business per say, file a Sch C on your taxes...but you get to deduct all applicable expenses. 

Sure, free sucks, however, you're trading your basic skills for (I'm assuming) their experience.

Maybe, but there is a risk versus reward trade off and you’d be taking on the unknown risk when the alternative is a guaranteed reward.  

Sometimes their speakers have trade show booths where you can speak directly with them or they are available before or after their speaking session.
