We let them know our expectations of what we expect of them and the level of service.

Hey, new member to BP, I love and work in Dallas, currently in NYC for the weekend- would love to know if there's any meet ups or events. 

I can say that I haven't been totally Thrilled with their service on that level.

The City is regressive on many levels and they will keep losing legal battles as long as they use taxes and fees as there only revenue generator.

In my opinion buying a tier 1 property is a major key to this - or fixing up a property to this level.

The information and higher level of people you will be around is priceless.Frank 

Difficulty Level? 

I wouldn’t get too caught up in this question because real life experience is way more important than fancy framed certifications and degrees, but I do think that a really good IFREA will have some form of education above the high school level needed to get your real estate license.

I would like to be at the buy and hold level, however, I am not financially set to jump into that market.

That depends on you and your risk level really.
