@Michael Noto @Theresa Harris Excellent advice.

It's been an excellent way to network and connect with people in that space as we invite guest speakers to present. 

your suggestion to make it a condition of sell is excellent but only if given at time of offer or within the option period to back out.  

It sounds like that would be a method you could excel at. 

If you don't communicate clearly, you'll never excel in your business.Again, sorry if that's harsh, but it is the truth.

Excellent goals!

There are also not a lot of property managers out there that excel at the rent by the room model.The second way is to plan for it when looking at properties and finding ones that can be easily separated off and turned into two units (say basement and top floor), then by adding a kitchen to the separate area you can rent both areas, instead of the whole home as one.

Him and his assistant kept referencing more billable hours but at this point nothing had happened except this cycle of confusion of sending an excel file back and forth because there was no context on why he was asking the questions he was asking.

That is an excellent beginning! 

Either way, it's NOT the end of the world but only part of real estate venture as it's summed up in Green Day's song "Good Riddance":Another turning point, a fork stuck in the roadTime grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to goSo make the best of this test and don't ask whyIt's not a question but a lesson learned in timeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeSo take the photographs and still frames in your mindHang it on a shelf in good health and good timeTattoos of memories and dead skin on trialFor what it's worth, it was worth all the whileIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your lifeIt's something unpredictable but in the end is rightI hope you had the time of your life--------------Good luck
