Hi Adam,The seller pays the seller commissions and (usually) covers the buyers commissions as well so you shouldn't worry about those fees.The 10% vs 20% I feel like is a personal opinion.

Personally, my strategy (in the midwest) has changed over the past few years and BRRRR hasn't been the go-to approach as much.

Personally for what people charge for these programs I would say you are 1000x  better off taking some courses at a local college, getting a degree and working in real estate to get paid for experience and then do real estate on the side for your own portfolio as well.

I've personally helped many OOS investors here and they've been very happy with returns. 

IRS 590 also explains this.5) When you receive a distribution or otherwise get paid back, never take personal control of the money.

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

Then based on @Michael Baum's suggestion, I think I will have my cleaner and/or maintenance person do monthly/quarterly maintenance like using using enzyme based cleaners, grease fighting drain treatments and hot water flushing. 

Is your goal to use being an agent for your own personal investments or actively try and grow your agent business to eventually leave your W2?

I'm currently working with an estate planning attorney and she said she said we could put the LLC in the Trust but said she was not the best person to advise on the pros and cons of that and that we should talk to a business law attorney.

Victor is there a way where you are not made the bad person??
