Did lot of research online but seems like all the information I gathered so far leads to a dead end.

My business partner and I found a lead.

Take direction, show a willingless to learn, do things you don't want do, and most importantly go find leads so you can make money with your mentor.

Just make sure you have someone certified to deal with lead paint removal if the old siding is painted.I would still consider wood framed properties but proceed with caution and make sure you are taking all of the above into consideration. 

I put the leads in Podio and have followup alerts. same with Brokers.

Most recently I had the above list created for .04 per lead.

The asset manager is compensated in the form of a salary or fee.E.g. 4 people can split the profits evenly but only 1 person will have managerial authority to authorize purchases and/or operate the properties. 

This information is very general and may lead to failure.

Build relationships with these people and your network and it will naturally lead to opportunities to learn the business.

The only thing you can do to reduce the number of useless leads is to include how much down and how much per month on the sign/ad/website.
