Quote from @La Toya Flowers Butler: I'm a newbie to real estate investing, looking to learn, cultivate business relationships, and invest!  

You’re running a business not a charity after all. 

Operating within California means you’ll need to register any LLC conducting business in the state, regardless of where it’s formed.

I've never seen such a mismanaged business.

They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

The IRS doesn't trust you to report accurate information, so the 1099 from the property manager is checked against your filing.Any company that does more than $600 in business with you should issue a 1099.

We're also seeking to buy a local (Raleigh / Durham) property management company to expand that business more rapidly.

I am no way affiliated or benefit from these referrals, just like to pass along good business!    

@Michael Quarles I can honestly say that I've never gotten any solid business from postcards.
