@Warren Barton a PMC should pay the legal owner of the property OR that owner's lega representative.If the properties are in your personal name, to have the PMC pay your LLC, you'd need to name your LLC as your legal representative and provide acceptable documentation to the PMC directing them to pay your LLC.They'd then 1099 your LLC via its EIN.

Sellers (represented or FSBO) were not previously required to pay a Buyer's Agent's commission and still are not with the new rules.

The listing agreement must include the following:* The agreement's valid date (must be signed within the past 30 days)* Brokerage and agent representing the owner* Signature from both parties entering the agreement* Full property address (including the unit number, if applicable)* Terms stating that you have exclusive permission from the owner to rent/lease the property"The problem is I am not a realtor or broker. 

You will find a TON of awesome people here on the forums representing our city who are willing to help you along your journey.My biggest suggestion would be to find some local meetups (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1211616-virt...) and introduce yourself to the host.

We don’t put all of disposable income into it as it represents one piece of the ongoing puzzle.

Considering a PM company's main objective should be to represent the landlord's best interests, some expenditures might seem questionable and could have been avoided.- It seems that their prices are substantially higher than what would normally be charged for the same services.

It is going to represent your best option for getting the max amount of funds for your next property.

Since I am a licensed real estate agent, I was able to represent myself as the buyer's agent.

This is not legal advice....but "practicing law" is different than representing yourself in your own affairs.

Make sure to gather the correct contact information for your representatives and ensure you grasp their inspection procedures.
