You are brave person to able to say that in bp lol

Additionally, townhomes appreciate much slower than detached single family homes tend to.My personal advice would be to sell this property and then 1031 either into a better property near you that is low maintenance, or (probably better for you) invest the capital into a syndication or partnering with an active investor where you should get returns better than the stock market. 

But, you can't determine quality by simply what they charge.....as there are plenty of terrible agents who also charge a lot.You'll need to determine what value they bring to you personally and do a cost benefit analysis of whether the cost is worth it to you or not.

Personal preference.

I see you are a rental property investor at what point did you feel like you had enough reserves to take on a property?

I’ve done research but hoping to hear from REs with personal experience.

Feel free to give me any advice or direct me to any meetups.

Mentors for me have come in the form of friendships over time, but honestly, most of them were made at an IN-PERSON MEETUP....there is something about physical energy that makes a huge difference.Happy to connect to share some of my experiences!

Feel free to reach out if you need any help!

If the latter, give her notice, if the former-hopefully your lease has a clause about allowing people in to repair things (with notice) and that they (tenant and repair person) need to be respectful.
