I am working on my RE license for VA and see some gov contracts where JLL "is the Commonwealth’s contracted real estate broker for current real estate services, including with respect to the acquisition or lease of real property and the disposition of surplus real property." 

While the lease will most likely include maintaining the units themselves, these organizations are not going to manage it anywhere close to what you could and should do.

How do I proceed from here to include the labor charges as an expense on my taxes?

It's smart to consider your options carefully.To give you a clearer picture of the market, properties listed on PadSplit in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Garland, are currently 94% occupied.

Make sure the property meets the 1% rule or close to it (monthly rents = 1% of purchase price) to ensure it cash flows after you move out.Yes, interets rates are higher than they were a couple of years ago, but rents have also increased significantly in many markets, including yours.

One of my favorite authors, Nicholas Nassim Taleb, sold me on the concept of Skin in the Game and holding all pundits accountable for prior predictions, myself included. 

Pull comps, if you rent it for 1500.00 you are cashflowing 120.00 a month with all the info you gave me and including fees except if you take any fees on (water/trash etc.

Sometimes too portfolios allow you to include lower valued properties that might not be eligible for regular DSCR lending. 

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
