Any advice is appreciated, even the ugly stuff.

The single family day to day stuff was really getting to me.

I tell everyone landlord do not care what kind of recreational stuff they smoke so long as refrained inside the house.

We focus on Florida and work with a number of international investors since we are experiencing a ton of growth here.

@Carlos Cuervo the bank would charge you a rate according to their internal guidelines. 

It's been great hearing other stories from folks outside of real estate, and I find that many of their ideas are still relevant to me in my own entrepreneurial endeavors even though they're doing stuff I have no interest in like reselling on eBay or running online retail stores. 

Do not want to complicate stuff for such a small activity.

More commonly, if we're showing a house where the owner is open to leaving some stuff behind, we'll mention those items specifically to prospective tenants, almost as a "bonus", if they want it. 

I always do what is the right thing to do and not cheap out on stuff that needs to be fixed, regardless of the cost.

The other thing that I would mention is that every single brokerage that touts training basically teaches you the same stuff...call friends and family, call FSBOs (for sale by owner), and expired leads, etc.
