Otherwise, he was just constantly, as in daily, reallocating his crews off our projects to those of new clients to show them how "hard working" he and his guys were and to convince them of the need for more funds to "keep up his progress", then when he got them, he'd move on to the next victim...I mean, client.

MLS deals, if they are truly a deal will be picked up by the experienced investors and the agents they work with that are constantly getting MLS updates within a few hours.Looking for other ways to find a deal will be much more fruitful - direct mail, bandit signs, driving for dollars.

Matt,I am an investor myself and a commercial broker who owns my company.I DO NOT do property management.I can tell you first hand you will truly underestimate the amount of work involved to do property management CORRECTLY.Many brokers/agents see the small fee as an income stream but underestimate the cost of time spent versus the money earned.This is why I believe people that do property management have to enjoy and have that personality.The older vintage age of the property the more calls you will have and issues that come up.Also if it is a C to D area the issues will increase.Why don't you go work for a commercial brokerage??
