Maybe this is d class area where collecting rent has challenges, inspection should be done often, lots of tenant conflict, etc.  

It’s great to see your enthusiasm for transitioning into real estate after your impressive military career.

I typically do most of the work myself or hire my handy man who does just about everything and for a great price.I definitely have more experience in the construction industry than in the mortgage one for now, but I would love to chat further if you're willing to share some of the knowledge you have :) (up to this point it has been only my mother and I investing and we have about 6 properties collectively.)Thank you for all of the input!!

I've never been the landlord for a commercial property but have leased commercial property before - I leased through a commercial real estate agent who was acting as a leasing agent for the property owner, and the property owner was the one who collected my rent and is who I made repair requests to so personally haven't dealt with a Commercial PM before but will continue to follow this thread to learn more!

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to expedite this process or a recommendation regarding law firms and collections in Maryland?

Would it be a beneficial/does it make sense to run the "business" transactions through the LLC (collecting rent, maintenance/repairs, etc)?

- How do you currently handle tasks like maintenance requests, rent collection, and tenant communications?

That alone is very impressive and you are already moving faster than the majority of people out there.

Is it legal for me to show the property to the prospective tenants as long as I don't collect commission or sign any paperwork. 

My main concerns would be:- corruption- collecting rent (what to do when tenants default?)
