The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Typically they charge a percentage of the amount saved. 

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

I was just looking to turbo charge that a bit because as we know property values have gone up and buy and hold in a SDIRA just moves to slow even if you can max your SEP.

As I understand, landlords there cannot charge application fees, security deposits and evictions are VERY challenging.Have communicated with several PMCs and investors in Ohio market and not aware of any real differences from Michigan. 

I wouldn't get this on a house in Bay Area if I bought an $800,000 house, no way I can charge $8,000 rent, maybe $4000 or $4500. 

We charge a transparent monthly fee for this and our digital property management platform - but we are not a local property manager.We also give owners the ability to use a repair triage service and our vendor network, or address repairs with their own handyman.Our goal is to make renting better for owners and residents.

(It could be rented for more, maybe $3000/mo, but I'm only comfortable charging so much on principle.

If they are taking the risk of borrowing they would want to charge you a premium for the risk they are taking.
