Welcome aboard, Bart. and best of luck in your investment endeavors.

Nicholas,

This isn't a law forum. You posted a question on here asking if you could/should sue your landlord.  If you didn't want opinions, then you should have either emailed a lawyer or specifically told non-lawyers to don't bother responding.  As someone who just casually peruse the boards to find interesting things to learn, it seems to me that you're just wanting to find someone who will sympathize with you.  But by the way you're attacking or belittling everyone who bothers to respond, you're not going to get much of that either.  You're brilliance alone should get you where you need to go.

Hi Sohrab,

I'm already committed to a "prospecting" event on the 14th in Sugar Land.  I'll keep watch for your next event.  Thanks for organizing these.

Lots of good advice and feedback so far.  I just wanted to correct your thread title.  The saying is "Hindsight is 20/20" as in perfect 20/20 vision.  Not sure if you were going for some other meaning with the 50/50. Cheers :)

Thanks for the reply, Carlos.  I'm checking out many of the local PM company websites.  

@Elias Camhi, could you please forward me the meeting information for NARPM? I've been visiting their website in recent weeks, but haven't signed up yet.  Hope to see you there.

Hello fellow agents, 

My current brokerage does not allow property management by their agents and I have an opportunity to jumpstart a business in PM with a friend who owns multiple rental properties.  Texas requires licensure since I will "control the acceptance or deposit of rent from a resident of a single-family residential real property unit".  Can anyone refer me to a brokerage that will sponsor and support an agent who performs PM as part of his services?  Thanks.

Thanks, Kuba. I will look at it.  

I'm completely frustrated with the contact management software available on my devices and laptop.  Outlook somehow integrated with all my other free systems (google, linkedin, icloud) and now I have at least 5 instances of each of my contacts.  Ditto with all the reminders and notifications of birthdays and anniversaries stored in them.  I'd clean it up manually but it's over 1,000 contacts and after a few days, the replication is back!  

I want to start fresh with an app that will track customers, vendors, personal, colleagues, contractors, teams, etc.  If it can give more weight to recent contacts in searches would be great too.  Some contact from 7-10 years ago are worth keeping but probably not accessed as often. Please let me know what's working for you!

I'm looking at some acreage with 4 rental units on site and need assistance in determining obstacles or restrictions on future use of the property for a mobile home community.  Can someone recommend an attorney that knows Fort Bend County land law? Thanks.

Oh boy. I just see nightmarish end scenarios. But if you step back and think about the original suggestion, "prior to selling my home, can you come remodel it for me and I will share the increase in value"; you're beginning the whole relationship on speculation. What is the starting value that you will use to determine the "added profit"? How do you prove the specific work you did contributed to the increase from that value? Why wouldn't you be better off charging them upfront as any remodeler would?
