Some may even use unlicensed handyman type guys to do the renovation, which still can work if you are able to supervise for quality control and have the experience to spot quality workers (be they licensed or not) ... heck, I can't even begin to tell you how many GCs in my market use these same unlicensed guys regularly as subs on their crew, especially for paint, drywall, tile, counters, finished plumbing, etc. ... maybe not so much with rough in plumbing, rough in electric, etc. where licensed guys are used more. 

If you are a provisional broker you have to be supervised by a broker (broker in charge) Once you satisfy your educational requirements to become full broker you can operate as a sole proprietor

@Dusty Bowling if you have a first-class group of workers, all you need to grow is a project manager to supervise the day-to-day details of running multiple jobs and managing troop deployment.  

Elizabeth Colegrove As a commander a few years again I supervised a Soldier who had the exact problem you identify.

You let people you don't know look inside / walk around your properties without supervision?? 

Again, the market will determine the possibilities.I have seen PMs using all three, salary, straight commission and both a base saalary plus commission, in fact, all three in the smae company, with more of the managerial types having a salary plus overrides on those supervised and commissions if they do any deal.I'd say first you have to define a job description and from that, together with market influences you can get a better idea as to a fair compensation arrangement.If your area has 2000+ rentals the performance expected of the bush beater will be greater than if there are only 500 rental units.For anyone to stay with you, they need to make money and your market will ultimately define those opportunities.

I would think that going inside with children home without supervision could open up all sorts of potential issues.

They charged me $1K for supervising.

My understanding with this is they are generally responsible for rent collection, tenant management, repairs & maintenance (small landscaping, supervision of subcontractors - which I approve and the bill is then send to me), maintaining records and such.Being my first month with my first property I was a bit surprised to see the 8% fee in addition to-Meet electrician for repairs and updates to fire alarm. 1.5 hours- $50Trip and installation charge for unit 1 window (without cost of materials)- $35Repair broken handrails (without cost of materials)- $30Cut and trim, clean loose debris- $35Unit 4 late rent collection (time contacting, travel to meet)- $25This adds $175 to the 8% ... my question is- what then is the 8% for?
