Investing involves risks and rewards – and usually the higher the risk, the greater the potential for significant gains and losses of invested equity.

If I involved some of those other people's money, how do I even begin to structure a deal like that?

We found a property management company but before signing the contract, noticed that they put "owner to pay $395 to secure lease renewal of current tenant""owner to pay 8% per month but subject to $100 a month minimum payment" of gross revenues DUE (not paid) prior to monthly disbursements""if premises are vacant at any time during this agreement, then owner shall pay manager $100 per month for management of premises including supervision of maintenance"It doesn't seem like these terms fit for managing our simple duplex rental. 

Now, where I come from, an agreement of sale is worthless unless there is no Earnest money deposit involved, is this my money I'm putting up?

The list goes on.You can get a sense from that that how you'll manage in a particular area is really defined by a combo of a lot of external things and how you fit your services into the local market, and how to best serve the needs of your clients and tenants.Beyond all of those things, the best advice you can get, if you're serious about building a property management company, is to really think about what systems you want to put in place.

I’ve uploaded some screenshots of my edits.The last scenario I ran involves a 4.75% down with no PMI.

I am happy to drive for dollars, but that will involve one of those Google self-driving cars and a guide dog trained to sniff out potential deals.

They are all different, and I never find that these forms fit our specific details, so I have a standard letter I write, which is clearer -- to me at least.

And agents are busy, and they dont want to get too involved in that stuff.Do you get your confidence from the agent, pictures, or just the inspector?

Just willing to help, I love anything related with real estate, I wish to get involved asap, Thanks :) I live in Wesley Chapel, Fl but I can move easily all over the Tampa, Fl area.
