Full disclosure - I may be an absentee father and husband and just not recognize it. 

These are educated people and I'm trying to show them that simply leaving makes the most sense for them.I recognize this probably won't work and I'll have to jack the rent and remove any perks not in the lease to make the situation as uncomfortable as possible for them.

@Jeremy HelsabeckIt is very important that you make sure you take the time to interview and have candid conversations with a PM company.

I'm a relaxed kind of girl, not pushy, and prefer the closeness of a small company/team, so I opted to interview only smaller offices for affiliation rather than some of the big-name brokerages.

The reason for this is because the law recognizes that CFL’s are big boys and girls who risk only their own money (and who can only sell their notes to other CFL’s or specific financial institutions), not that of the unwashed public.The hot ticket lately, all legal, is to originate loans as a CFL and enjoy the limited restrictions on origination, then sell the loans publicly to other investors using a broker’s license (subject to SB 978).

Should I spend the next 2 years reading every real estate book, vetting/ interviewing every potential team member, studying the market daily, finding a mentor I trust and can learn from, BEFORE I do my first deal??

If you can act as the boots on the ground and be present for and coordinate property inspections, due diligence tasks, lease audits, property manager interviews, contractor quotes, etc.. 

Once you have an understanding of this, interview a few other PMs in your local area to compare and contrast.
