I apologize for the delayed response.

As for myself, I have been an agent for 8 years and have been dealing with tenants and tenant screening ever since I started so for me it's something I'm good at, have systems in place to minimize the time it takes from my day, and is something I couldn't imagine paying someone else to do for me at this stage of my investing "career".

That 50/50 split for the GP sounds high for me with no skin in the game or minimal skin. 

Sorry for the delay in response.

Partner Driven was attracted to the Preston St property due to its potential for significant value increase with minimal investment.

If you are looking to acquire the other half, there are ways of doing the transfer that minimize capital gains tax for you mom.
