I know there are multiple benefits of having a well seasoned real estate agent that works with other investors.

Tthere are other benefits like amortization and taxes.I'm actively looking, but I haven't lucky enough to find properties with positive or considerable cash flow.  

But the thing is she has been good up until now so I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume the original contract was a mistake.

Having a smaller return on a SFR is typical as there are some more benefits like an exit strategy.

@Derrick Powell  Keep in mind if you sub meter and pass the water bill on to your tenants vs you paying them now; you have essentially raised your rent wit no benefit to the tenant.

And you get the benefit of having over 100 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

I'm joining this community because I this investing in property will provide my company an added benefit, an advantage if you would.
