I currently work with investors who are looking to begin their portfolio in turn-key real estate and manage for them on the back end so they can still enjoy their everyday lives while having a resident in place paying down their loans. 

I am hoping to learn about managing my own property and how to get tenants. 

Not only do some landlords allow their personal and political ideology to be in the mix, but many do not understand how to manage this population.

The annual 2% management fee comes out before you get your principal back.  

Single family or multifamily, flips or rentals, new developments in light areas or infill lots?

Our manager’s credit score requirement is 550, but even that has been hard to satisfy.

Here are a few things that I like about the neighborhoods in Indy compared to other states: high rent-to-home-value ratio, consistent and gradual city development, relatively low property tax and insurance cost, affordable renovation service cost.

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

I'm in Florida and self manage and can't find this type of form in the PRO member landlord forms package.

They agreed to pay in accordance to the lease and failure to manage to the lease is the #1 reason why landlords fail (Source: American Apartment Owners Assn).Cowboy up and stop having the tenant control your ROI.Best.
