It's a fairly unregulated space (charging grandma $750 to puts around for 3 hours, after moving the old box from the horizontal sensor, which was the only problem with the garage door to begin with), so some combination of carefully reading reviews (you have to actually read them to make sure it's not 200 fake reviews), and maybe not giving them the full contract all at once, is in order. 

What is a JV agreement? 

I know and am prepared to do all the overhead work necessary to find a property that will qualify, but I just want to know if it is possible in my situation.

I'm fine with doing some minor fixes and improvements to a property: Adding overhead lighting/fans, better flooring, maybe redoing a main bathroom.

I have a few questions- "We started an LLC" "We purchased a property" Who are the legal owners of the LLC? 

@Brice Alef-Torrisi putting each property in its own LLC is usually overkill.Getting a bank account for each LLC is typically something you need to do to avoid "piercing of the LLC corporate veil" (actually depends on tax selection you made for LLC), but is also overkill.You haven't indicated how you are holding the deed for the latest property.If in your name or same LLC, you don't need a separate bank account.If in separate LLC, you can create a Master LLC, have each property LLC hire the Master LLC to manage their affairs, and just get a bank account for Master LLC.This is an opinion, not advice, so lookup CPA Frank Alcini in Troy for expert advice.

Cleaner is paid a fixed rate for a specific job, you are paid a % of revenue.

As a result, no MiniStays account for me. 

I think this is a mistake.

There are definitely multiple options and some will allow for a set amount of personal transactions per year to waive commission splits.
