I also have a few side businesses bringing in a few thousand a month on-top of my primary focus which is day trading which I have done since a very young age which is going extremely well.

Unless a PM company has THOUSANDS of doors, this is not profitable. 

I don't personally have tens of thousands in cash on hand for larger down payments (I do though in my TSP/401k), but my dad will have maybe a couple hundred thousand after the sale of his house soon.

I've seen prices range from $300 for an hour to thousands of dollars for the year (which I don't think I'll need an entire year).

So what many do is they try and do it on the cheap, and get death by thousand needles instead of making the investment.

I'm not done with my estimates yet but I'm likely coming out a couple to a few thousand ahead per month when I'm done repositioning everything.

and I was just one little mortgage guy with 450 loans out.. can you imagine the banks with hundreds of thousands of loans and servicing companies.. so having mass equity or paid for keeps this from ever being an issue. then when I sold these off.. most for cash but a lot I did a 30 to 60 month ZERO interest deal on.... and boy you should have heard the cash flow cool laid drinkers..

Of course, always check recent reviews.. they tell you more than a flashy website.Size Matters: I’d avoid both extremes... massive firms managing thousands of units and one-person operations juggling too much.

Does it make sense to cheap out over the few thousand dollars it will cost to go through a proper escrow and title process?

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
