Have heard some PMC's allegedly offer other agents a ridiculously small amount like $200. 

At $15K a year, that's just bare minimum without any of the other modules that Yardi offers.

Propose starting small, like a single-family rental or house hack, with a clear, low-risk plan to minimize concerns.Leverage your industry connections and offer to handle the initial responsibilities, demonstrating your commitment and capability.

And good luck to @Eve Favorse on the offer!!

I be sure to offer nice weekly and monthly price discounts. 

It is a standard conventional loan and was offered as a promotional financing by builder at the rate of 5% for investors. 

MLS, Made an offer I couldn't refuse How did you finance this deal?

These markets offer affordable homes, many of which are turnkey (new builds or fully rehabbed), with properties that have 10+ years of life left and are ready for tenants.

I used to cold call sellers from across the countries, and offered to buy their homes for cash.

Like SW Florida, TX, TN  Some cities in those states are not necessarily the best cash flow positive, but they offer good appreciation potential.
