It's great that you outlined your strengths.

If you are self managing and the agent is just listing your property for you, you should have a "Listing Agreement" which outlines the terms conditions and compensation you will be paying the agent.

There's a lot available on this topic; here's one source:  https://www.land.com/owning/ho...In your case, you should be able to simply contact the electric provider directly.

Of course, I plan to discuss the questions/topics reviewed in Brandon Turner's book on Rental Property Investing, but wondering if anyone has any additional questions I should ask / info I should be sure to gather during our meeting?

There are lots of strings with this topic and many very recent.

I’m currently grappling with which path / options to take and would love all your thoughts – below I have outlined some context of my situation and options.Context:- Currently own 2 properties – my SFH (which I don’t want to move out of) and a condo that is rented (currently to family members which makes it easier)- Have 150k cash + 150k available from a HELOC at 3.75% -- have more available but this is all I want to allocate to REI right now (I say this so you know I’m not being super stretched investing the 300k)- I’m open to investing locally or remotely within the US – we live on the WC approx. 3hrs from SF- My wife and I work demanding 9-5 jobs – we are open and willing to spend material time on this but cannot make it our full-time roles for at least a couple more yearsOptions – I have outlined these in my perceived level of difficulty, would also love you thoughts on that 1.
