Here is an article worth reading that will help you gain a better understanding of their business model and salaries: https://www.redfin.com/blog/2018/01/how-much-do-redfin-agents-earn.htmlAveraging $90K with health insurance and a multitude of other benefits doesn’t seem to be underpaid in my opinion vs. the industry average of $44K.

I’m pretty sure Jake & Gino started that way but would love to hear more stories about how people successfully invested in the beginning without syndicating.

Seems that you had a bad tenant, but it sounds like there was a pretty decent lack of oversight.

Pretty sure BP offers a service?

Pretty easy because I didn't have the entire process shoved in my face all at the same time.

You can have a realtor run a search of recently rented properties and you can go through the pictures and description and get a pretty good idea of what you should have to be competitive.

It’s pretty deep and will put a lot into perspective.

When you say "career in real estate" that's pretty vague.

this allows me to have an opportunity fund for the quick hits and not have to deal with landlord drama that I cant stand personally there are many other ways in real estate to make a buck and landlording is easiest to understand and get into.. but can be pretty annoying if you get some cruddy tenants or buy in areas were your renting to the bottom of the income pool or those on government assistance.. 

Thanks Robert I've been doing pretty good, how about yourself?
