I like the popular coins they are much easier to resell and they can appreciate faster over time.

Clients who don't want to sign contracts and want to be completely hands-off during the process probably won't want to hire you in this role; but many clients are happy to be more hands-on in return for paying you less (though I guess you could charge just as much as a regular GC if you're really good at convincing clients to pay that) to basically be just a consultant.

I think it’s ridiculous to charge what some of these guys charge.I agree that you should get out there sooner rather than later.

He does not charge late fees on rent although he claims they all generally pay on time.

Further, the "Mom" dog sometimes would run into my yard and charge at my renter.

So why can't you just trade out of your own account and copy the the pro's saving you the large fees they usually charge?

I mean small stuff like looking out across the driveway and not feeling awkward when you see the tenant that is unhappy about the late fee you charged him the day before.

So, one step to getting to this goal faster may well be "move".

Sorry I didn't respond faster, I'm traveling outside of Anchorage for the next two weeks and connectivity is spotty.

There is a ton of info here on bp alone and through a local investment club you might be able to find a local mentor that won't charge you.
