I recently earned my Real Estate license, signed on with Trade Winds Realty, and joined the Pinellas Realtor® Organization (PRO).

So I am trying to figure out if it's worth investing in a bad area of town simply for a higher cash flowing scenario. Property values may never rise much, but for the price it will be really easy to maintain positive ...

Main goal is to now find a multifamily house, probably near market price with no major rehab, just to get the swing of things.

You've got a 200 sqft swing possibly in size and a 30k difference in ARV opinions, that is a big difference.

Not sure where the trade-off is, but give it a look!

I'm a Property Manager by trade (8+ years) in MFH.  

Hopefully we get this one or another one soon, we've been looking hard, we'll follow up with you, swing by and check it out.

I was now looking for an entry level position, my thought was if I was hoping to trade my time to learn why not actually get paid for my time, after all that's what most of us do 9-5, trade our time for money.

I have done some light construction (alarm installation, conduit, etc.) and am a good handyman or jack of all trades if you will. 

I'd expect the fees to be based on portfolio performance compared to the market, not a fee based on total assets managed and certainly not a commission per trade.
