My name is Cody Davis and I'm brand new to this world of business.

If you hire a PM, expect it to be no less than 40% unless the properties are brand new and require almost no maintenance.With that model in mind, let's look at the Class B property above. 

I work in Asset Protection for a National home improvement brand, and there’s certainly going to be video of him buying concrete from a Home Depot or Lowe’s about the same time you fired him.

First and foremost, I'm brand new to the forum and excited to be here & to get to know you :)Prior to the coronavirus shutdown, I had been looking for a home to purchase in San Diego (preferably a two-bedroom and get a roommate). 

The agency brand matters far less than the actual agent (person) and what they can offer you.

Plus the 50% rule isn’t really applicable because everything is brand new.

Brand new open air malls still have a chance for great success.

Then it is about the brand ( was brand struggling).

If you go this route, you should consider the brand new book by Brian Burke called The Hands-Off Investor.

Don't go for the brand new home (Burnside Farm) but one that has had time to have prices settle down, ie Preston Green and Rosecliff.
