I have never sent any documentation requiring that my employees sign as part of that waiver, common sense tells me that it is not needed, as they are my employees and I usually pay them on time.

I have Grossed about 40K in sales to date and have invested into my business about 30K. 

With that being said, 35k gross profit on a 150k sale will probably net you something a little 20k, which is an excellent start to your real estate empire. 

I think the main reason is he got burnt with some investors/ex-employees in the past, and is very mindful on what he reveals.

higher rents (ie, city) would mean higher income since commission is generally (only) 10-15% of rent and for some starting out, even less.of course as employee of a PMer it would be more cut and dry what sort of salary u get offered/accept entry-level but again, pay likely higher in city than country for reasons above then again inner cities may have lower rent than the affluent outskirt areas

Anyway, that was gross income no?  

You most certainly can sell the building before it is stabilized, but buyers will discount the validity of the buildings performance.So, to figure out the {potential} value of the building you need to:1) Determine your revenue:determine what is the market rent for each unit type in the building and calculate your scheduled rent;determine the market vacancy for the area (for each unit type) and calculate your anticipated physical vacancy;Subtract the second from the first above and you have your {projected} effective gross revenue;2) Determine your total operating expenses:These include: property tax, insurance, yard maintenance / snow removal, electricity (house metre), oil/gas (if common heat); water/sewer, garbage collection; janitorial service; maintenance (10% of effective gross revenue); Property Management (7-10% of effective gross revenue); advertising, accounting & administration, etc.3) Calculate your Net Operating Income (NOI): Effective Gross Revenue - Total Operating Expenses4) Now you need to determine/learn the price being paid for similar (i.e. same class of building) cash flows in the local area.  

Gross commissions $2.8 million.

I am not saying it isn't worth pursuing but If I wanted to invest close to campuses, I would focus on rentals for college employees. 

Only gas companies can answer the OP's question, really. 4-6 weeks is normal for busy utility companies, and WOs are issued to service a client, either new or reconnecting service, they guide their employees where to go and what to do, pretty much like a scope of work and timeline.
