@Brandon Turner  & @Joshua Dorkin I'm sure the answer is yes, but do you want us to rate each and every podcast you've put out (they're all great by the way!)? 

I don't think I will ever fully retire but I plan to be doing less active work in the future, i.e. not focusing on writing new loans and not flipping.I am lucky that I can easily handle a down turn and be just fine if things soften even for an extended time but I still hope that doesn't happen.

I say try because it also reduces transparency: After the changes, I won't be able to tell my buyer client if a given seller is going to pay the commission on their behalf just by looking at the MLS anymore.

It sounds like you are doing more than many PM's.Really screen someone that your going to turn over your property to as a lot of co-hosts I've seen are very inexperienced.

They then informed me that I could either move forward with the management services, with a nominal discount of $110 for the error, or revert to the Lease Only Option and have the lease transferred to me without any security deposit, as none was collected by the property manager.This mistake has left me in a difficult position.

By working with other real estate investors and building up your experience, you will definitely become a better investor and be able to apply your knowledge and experience to your own investing pursuits.

Understanding this information can be advantageous, whether or not a property manager is involved.Being well-informed about the eligibility criteria, application process, and benefits of the Section 8 program can greatly assist you in navigating the housing landscape.

Any tips on how I should potentially navigate this differently?

The primary area of “concern” is around things like IRS liens and the likes that wouldn’t be wiped clean by the foreclosure.
