We're in it for the long haul, and our future selves will thank us.

I tried attending one in my local market a couple of times but felt like I was in some hotel ballroom being pitched on how the 12 year-old kid up in front would teach us all how to run to the back of the room to swipe $10K on our AMEX for the secrets of real estate investing.

We bought our house in TN with only 5% down.

We have a site through our PMS (Streamline/BizCor) that facilitates the bookings through a site. 

Is it possible for her to have that many hours (750h) by managing our 9 properties?

The site is accessible via West Morehead Street, South Clarkson Street, South Cedar Street, and Summit Avenue.

Tenant 2 stays. 5 months goes by to come to find out that now tenant 2 moved out without our knowledge and let squatters move in.. had to file for eviction, got them out finally.

We've rented out some of our best investment properties (New Construction/Turnkey) to Sec 8 residents, and the rent guarantee always helps in achieving consistent cash flow each month.

Of course our big motivation is commission but you can get commission or a referral fee or something in an off market transaction if done properly.

So, it's still NOT a good idea to try to invest by zip codes - which are too big in our opinion/experience.
