I'm not going to do anything at this moment, but if I do not hear anything, I was simply just wondering what the options were or if anyone has had this situation before.  

Many BP people see contractor, RE agent and property manager as the only options to enter the RE business.

The solution to this is simply!

Good location= good investment over time even if you have to pay more to enter.

U simply are not clued into the lending market and the way lenders look at risk thats why you think its a great deal but its only great to you.. most all of us lenders do FAR better than 10% on really nice first position loans with a fraction of the risk.. 

Is it industry standard to use Passthrough's, as the fee's collected for certain item's are simply collected by the management company, then paid directly to the property management company, making the transactions net to zero for presentation?

My advice is to enter a market by buying a Turnkey fist.  

But out west here generally speaking surface mining on a small parcel simply will not be allowed in the current zoning code.. 

If they deny me to enter, I deny them

if the timber is merch  you should get a mill in there to bid on the timber.. hire a logger.. profit you use to knock the stumps out.your civil engineer should be giving you a preliminary cost to do infrastructure normally they will do these for free since they will be designing it all.. they would be the best bet anyone on line is simply  a WAG
