You are playing the role of a salesperson and they are playing the role of someone who got an unexpected sales call.

We did not get involved in Real Estate as soon as we thought, it was especially tough with no network, no family or friends, not to mention immigration challenges preventing my wife from legally working for almost an entire year.Thankfully we persevered and in the end, both my wife and I have landed some lucrative tech sales roles over the 5 years we've been here, beginning in Florida and now settled in New York City (I know, I know, who would pay so much to live here!?).

I'm just wondering what kind of role I would need to play at that brokerage to use their property management services to benefit my desire of having my own property management business one day.

The Dad is in his 80s and his benefit income will play a big role in paying the rent.

It sounds cheesy, but the best way to prepare is to work with a friend or two and role play.

There are other factors that play a role.   

Get a low enough rent so you can make a decent spread and if prices go up you can exercise your option in a few years.

What is your role on the team?

Besides pushing the builder to complete as fast as possible (which is already desperately underway), are there any other options to exercise with the lender, or advice on how to squeeze another month extension with the original rate?

I usually give 2% assistance if exercised within yr 1, 1% year 2.
