This individual has successfully been doing property management through a company that has supported him in addition to his off-line unrelated real estate duties that he successfully continues to manage.

The Beltline does add some promise to the area and is currently under construction, but without additional supportive infrastructure, those markets aren't going to change drastically in the short term.

My wife and I have been actively involved in real estate, flipping and also buying-and-holding for over two years in the Miami market, up to now we have acquired all of our properties through the auction.We are eager to expand to other Florida markets, with a special interest in Brevard County, Collier County, and Lee County, but we are open to others.

Also, I hold the property in a trust.

.- Support. 

No support from the brokerage (not really), but the costs are very low and the software is good.

The equity and profit would all be split based on money put into the deal, so I would have 20% equity and would be entitled to 20% off the net profit.Here is my issue: both of them are pretty set on holding the property free and clear (10+ years) because their primary goal is solid cash flow and secondary income to their businesses which can be seasonal.
