., I definitely agree with the accounting piece, what are you thought on the legalities side of this.

If not and I have to go out and build the team and organize the deal, I will factor that in too. 

When I go to Tools/Pro Partners/Home Depot and click on "Activate Perks" it has me sign in to my Home Depot account.

We do get a better fee/split structure, and that's a fair trade for the extra work of managing a large investor base and it's associated extra accounting and tax reporting overhead.I also find the advice in the OP to be contradictory. 

My advice is: If you are managing from a distance, you need someone with a high level of accountability and close proximity to care for your assets.  

We want to hold people accountable-- if you can make money on selling that ********, you can eat some crow when the chickens come home to roost. 

However, don't discount the value an organized and knowledgeable GC brings to your job site and mistaken the value they place on their time for a mark up on materials.  

@John CarrI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

It could be this was a standard periodic reassessment to account for market value increases and there's nothing to fight.

That’s a pure cash flow play - monthly interest payments hitting your bank account is a great feeling!
