A quick google search will point you in the right direction.

We would love to get some directional help from the community first, so we can ask better questions moving forwards!  

Making additional payments or taking a shorter term are just depositing more into that savings account (it's not like the property appreciates more by paying down the loan). 

This isn't easy to measure directly.

Sounds like strategy call would make most sense to see what your goals are with REI and being an agent to determine if the organization I represent aligns with the direction you are looking to go. 

But I'm not an attorney, so maybe I'm totally wrong on this hunch.My 2nd comment is directly within my practice area though.

Do a small sampling of listings that are your direct competition.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

An assistant can do most everything that you need done and they work directly for you rather than a property management company that has several clients and you’re just one of them.Also, again, depending on the location of your properties, have you considered doing a lease with the option to buy?
