Quote from @LaShon Evans: I manage 400 rentals and own 33.

It would cost me only $2300 per month which includes rent utilities furnishing and property management. she showed me one example only of a customer who profited greatly.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

With average rents in Charlotte hovering around $1,800 to $2,000, that means an average agent fee of just $190—if the management company even pays the showing fee.I understand that this may vary by market, but in mine, I don’t see agents being incentivized to work with renters.

I used Hostify and you can work it into the management system to figure and charge all of that for you.  

My basic underwriting making some standard assumptions on HOA expenses, 20% down, 7% interest rate, 30 year mortgage, utilities, supplies, and maintenance costs shows a loss of about $22k per year if you are self managing.

The clients we work with who have found success letting us help them find highest and best use of properties, then we manage them for a year, and then pull out 60-70% of their money, and do it again - rather than waiting several years for a home run hit. 

I’m also in Nashville and run a property management company, so definitely happy to connect.

Management treats line employees quite poorly and lying is just part of the job.

The manager doesn't determine what they do and don't like, they 'manage' the HOA to comply with the law and guidance from the Board.
