I walked all the nearby comps, gave the seller my opion/list of what his property was "missing" (fenced yard, light staging, add a 3 board fence panel and landscaping here...) and advised him to get a surveyor to mark the lot corners...The previous agent had not suggested they get a surveyor to mark the lot corners when he bought the property to flip....there's a chance the house or driveway may encroach the neighboring property.  

I'm assuming you are arriving at your cash flow number by applying Gross income - cap ex, maintenance, utilities, vacancy, tax, insurance, mgt, landscape/snow & Debt service?

One of them hired a landscape guy, well, the landscape guy never came so I was paying $140 per month for nothing for about 7 months.The other property manager didn't tell the tenants they were responsible to replace the ac filter, that bill was $1000 to replace the AC fan motor.I am really afraid of blowing off the money.

I’d also love to hear your predictions for how the real estate financing landscape might shift this year and how you plan to position yourself for success.

-Both homes have new windows, kitchens, baths, flooring, electric, solar, landscaping, you name it, with custom tile and woodwork. 

Their dollar compensation is their free/reduced rent.If you have a lot of maintenance with landscaping or POHs then you hire them as an hourly employee.   

Trying to run a successful PMC is difficult but trying to run multiple companies - VR, Annual, cleaning, and landscaping is probably going to give you an aneurism.
