The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Using these sources guarantees you will be accessing leads which everyone is accessing which is the complete opposite to what  investors/wholesalers should be targeting.

I put a lot of thought and design into the pallet and design, wanting to cultivate a space that was the opposite of the 100 kitchy-moose and "ski chalets" that are in the area (no judgment -- just not for me!).

They might do one deal a year, maybe two, but they're tying up huge chunks of capital, which can limit their overall portfolio size and miss out on opportunities where leverage could supercharge returns.Then, on the complete opposite end, you've got the investors who believe in maximum leverage.

Other brokers have told me basically the opposite answer.Without a doubt Chicago is a highly restricted place to try to launch an STR, but is it possible/ worth it?

Kinda like the opposite of "your Facebook life."

They become arrogant (opposite of gratitude) because business is great so they get greedy, and complacent, too.  

Many hav good intentions, but don't understand their emotional-based sales process for owner-occupants is totally opposite of the analytical approach an investor should be using.I just read a post from a newbie investor in Jacksonville, FL, that couldn't find an "investor-friendly" that had their own rentals, so went with an agent off Zillow.
