It costs money to defend against the commission as I hired an attorney help me and it was worth it.The final alternate approach to the PM company is also to threaten and again if no traction is made to contact the state attorney general about their business practices.

It's always best to do your own experiments and in your case you have a two-year successful case study.Not sure if you self-manage, but either way, did you get into real estate investing to get a second job with more to-do tasks, or did you get into this for cashflow?

My partners and I run a bimonthly real estate event here in Tampa, you are more than welcome to attend.  

My real estate agent brought it to me as an off market deal.

Of course you can, just be aware of the potential consequences from a business perspective.Lots more to share but I'll spare you from reading a novel :) Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat! 

This is a HUGE business for them.

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

Just curious if anyone has any experience getting into real estate investing via becoming a home inspector and kind of grasping the field.

I’m 23 years old and fairly new to the real estate investing world.

Hey maybe it turns out great, but still no real product years later and now this.
