If the deal that comes your way is not in the neighborhood with higher rated schools that you like, wholesale it for a few bucks and go on to the next one.You really have to see the area and get a feel for what different priced areas look like.

I know I've got a long road ahead of me but I have a strong feeling everything will play out well on the end.

Let him run this (self-manage) for a year or so and see how everybody feels about it then.How does that sound?

I feel like I'm missing something here, though: if @Joseph Turner gets a cash-flowing turnkey, why couldn't he take out a HELOC to at least partially finance the purchase of the IP, and then pay back the HELOC as the IP cash-flows?

If you can provide them endless value and expect nothing in return, sooner or later the concept of reciprocity will kick in and they will feel a need to help you and mentor you. 

I leave that to my trusted mortgage company experts.

 It's understandable to feel conflicted about whether to use a CRM, especially when you already have a PM in place.
