Yes, brokers do hire assistants, but that also means you will be working for that broker at least part-time handling a myriad of administrative tasks.

If you want to shoot me a PM I can give you a link so you can see how are market is performing.

I did the numbers right on the rental (at least its performing exceptionally well so far).

Having these conversations with the CPA as I converted my books has completely changed the way I think about my record keeping, how I take draws, how I may structure partnerships and investors going forward....Other than perhaps a good real estate lawyer, from my experience, a good CPA is critical to a young real estate investor's performance. 

The first appears to be performing.
