yes you can and @Dave Foster can handle them, like me, in all states.

There is no real value to having a LLC, unless you have employees, and really not necessary with adequate insurance coverage.

As long as you do not have any full time non-owner employees, that will likely be the best structure for you.

However, @Dave Foster and @Bill Exeter are both well respected and very competent Qualified Intermediaries just like I consider myself to be. 

I know he pulled back from that but I think they manage all of their units with some VA's or actual employees now.Also the Best way to get into it is too meet people join us at one of the many networking events in the area, you can find some on the events page here on BP or just log into Meetup and search for nearby Real Estate Investing,

Maybe ones that have their own in house mainance employees?

Don't bother, it is not necessary in Canada unless you actually grow to the point of having 5 or more actual employees.

Much like a W-2 is issued for an employee, a 1099 is sent to an independent contractor.

City planners are planning for this area to have as many as 7 million residents by 2035 (about the size of Queens, NY) mostly due to companies like Amazon and Google who are bringing new employees here from all over.  

I am a New York resident working in the medical field with a vision of one day being able to provide my family with more then I ever could being a real estate investor than an employee.
