Anyways, on my latest project, the title came back yesterday and revealed two extra parcels of land deeded to the seller under the property I was under contract for.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

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.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Where to spend the extra for durability and sometimes having to sacrifice aesthetics for durability, etc.

Also, keep in mind that an IN multi member LLC would require a separate tax return, so you would want to budget for extra admin fees.

Private notes require more work than Stocks / Bonds, is the added return worth the extra work?

Since Landlords are going to be monitored even more now with the price gouging issues surrounding the fires in LA, I would be extra cautious.

The seller pays extra compensation to the listing agent who then splits it with your agent (this is the way most transactions were done before 2024.

I’m also looking into self-settled spendthrift trusts to add an extra layer of protection, especially as my portfolio grows.
