How much do you typically spend on marketing a month? 

Also I would add that if you want to buy more property, work more and earn more.

Vacancy maybe a little high too, homes in that range typically don't have any vacancy in DFW area. 

Long-story short, I set a six-year goal to earn both degrees, start my real estate career with an active firm for about three years, and then to go out on my own.

You have a pile of cash sitting doing absolutely nothing that needs to be freed up to earn it's keep.

Just like some use national realtor/BPO firms (which I typically do not use).When I am working due diligence on a dozen assets, it’s easier to order them all through protitle then trying to find someone from any CountyOnce I get the report I have an attorney do itMy question is what will a local title company show on a report that protitle wouldn’t use ?

I have a feeling you'll get along well, engineers typically do :)I hope this helps!

This way you grab another door fairly quickly and do not have to share in the profits with family - yourself n your brother can invest individually and earn 2 x what you would by investing with each other. 2.)

Property managers typically charge between 8-10% of your gross rent, so if your property rents for $500 a month (low, just a nice round number) and your PM charges 10%, you will pay them $600 a year, which really isn't much for the service they provide.
