You'll get an idea of the rate, the down payment required, do they want an experienced manager to make the loan fundable at close- where would you get this person is it you?

Making 200 calls per person a day or more with a multi phone line dialer.   

That leaves you with personal loans and builder financing. 

After quitting I would want to be doing real estate deals more full time and do something more enjoyable to supplement my real estate income (maybe teaching or personal training- tbd).I’ve thought of buying 1-3 more properties within the next few years and then using the income from all my properties and job to hammer down the mortgages.

The chances of you quitting your 9-5 and doing real estate full time and being successful is similar to the photo below where everyone at the top in the crowd is thinking they can do it, and there is one person for every few thousand that can do it. 

This is easier than you think.Not commonly done for 1-4 unit residential, but very common for commercial.If you need a 35% capital injection, you find the human person with that capital.

i really think it's that simple.and, for me personally, if i have long term tenants that have consistently paid on time and had no issues for several years, i will usually get them a gift card or something at year 3 or 5.there is no consensus on BP on this. 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Personally, I don’t see how they can continue ongoing billing or anything after we cancel.

So with reclaimed depreciation you pay taxes on recapture plus any gain on that 1/10 of your property.You should have a CPA handle this - not a pop up one either, go to a real CPA and have them handle this correctly.
