I’m an experienced property manager/licensed real estate agent trying to develop a proposal for my management fees for starting an STR branch for a big name agency.

Agency loan processing at 5.5% fixed interest rate.

I know I will only recoup about 60% per my property managers collection agency.

I have had a huge interest in real estate, specifically, investing (BRRR, short-term rentals) and most recently in developing (I realize developing is a more "advanced" strategy).I'm thinking I should hustle and reach out to real estate agencies, in hopes of snagging an entry-level job or part-time gig to learn the ropes and build relationships with local investors.

There really isn't "conventional" financing for 5+ (Agency Multifamily is a different ballgame / product class) - so 5% not available

I recommend Redfin agency and for all your real estate Capital for project's needs
