I know of no state that requires a principal owner to be licensed or to hire licensed staff to manage their own property regardless of the entity structure.

The big benefit they have is they have in house maintenance staff so they don't call a vendor for every leak, repair, paint job, etc. 

Or as often happens there are folks that just have expectations that are not achievable.Nothing is inherently wrong with any of those folks above (except maybe the un-achievable expectation folks) but the staff needs to prioritize.

You have to factor in the rent/mortgage for the brokerage office, the salary/hourly for the receptionist, the bookkeeper's pay, either on staff or outsourced, the insurance costs, as well as all your regulatory costs & dues.It'll be far cheaper to get an agent's license and keep your half of the commission than try and open up your own brokerage for your own deals. 

If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

After weeks of back and forth with the Historical Preservation office, my application was finally complete and ready to go to the staff review board where pretty much everything was denied.

When we were young, we heard from an older and wiser Staff Sergeant (just retired as a CMSgt with a number of houses) to buy houses at the various places we were stationed, and just holding.

Your best bet is working with agents/brokers that are good at finding off-market deals or have a staff (like mine) capable of prospecting and marketing directly to owners.In any case - feel free to reach out any time if you'd like to pursue things further.

I have used Ohio Real Title in downtown Cleveland and was very happy with the efficiency and professionalism of the staff there.
