They've already proven they are loyal to the location so try to hang on to them but make sure you want to keep them.In my experience, tenants stay in one place a long time because it suits their lifestyle or because they can walk all over the Landlord.

This is a private cul-de-sac and we made all outside space 'common area', for people in our community to hang out. 

Can anybody point me in the right direction of a good low-cost brokerage that would be a good fit to hang my license?

west coast builders have to pay more for lots than what you enjoy in TExas.except for hang over inventory which is basically done with.it cost us 35 to 50k PER LOT just to do the underground ,  permiting for the underground and dirt and paving work... then you have to buy the dirt.. which in our area is 30 to 50K per paper lot.. so any lot under 60k is a screaming deal... with lot prices for 400k specs running 100 to 120k. 

That is one hang up I'm having.

Sometimes I sell the rentals and other times I hang onto the flips. 

I'm looking to create a dialogue that is raw and vulnerable so that others may more quickly learn from these very personal failures in order to avoid a very long, drawn out, and crippling process of divorce that many of us have already faced, currently face, or may face in our future.I will start, my marriage is hanging on so by a thread.

How do you find a broker that will simply let you hang your license without fees or commission splitting?

A majority of the houses are small and old but relatively few homes have security bars on the windows and no one hangs out on their porch.

My point here is until you get the hang of it and some idea how to manage a property it's far cheaper to hire a PM than it will be to learn by doing.
