I work and am affiliated with some great, reputable providers (full disclosure I work for MACK Companies - arguably the nation's longest tenured turn-key provider) but I've seen investors get burned working with the wrong peopleThe bigger pockets-based group that launched http://turnkey-reviews.com/ can provide some insight as well. 

If you want to be licensed (which might be a good thing for you as an investor) you need to do your research and find a real estate firm that you can affiliate with that won't charge you an arm and leg.  

This too can be self directed.I use Equity Trust Company as they have the lowest all-inclusive fees and are the easiest to work with in my opinion.www.trustetc.com - (MODERATORS I have no affiliation with them and this is not an ad, only a reference for others to learn.

If she only wants to be paid through the LLC and not use it for advertising purposes or to affiliate brokers then the firm would not need a broker in charge, just a qualifying broker.

@Marzel HurbsIf you go send direxted ira for real estate I would recommend putting it with quest trust, nuview or Midatlantic iraI have no affiliation with them but we are a sponsor of a fund and have found they their processes down and understand real estate and get the funds out the door on time.

Larry Fried is a agent who sells turn key and works with Maverick or he did when Maverick hooked up with these yahoos when he told me who they were affiliating with in Birmingham I wrote him a PM and told him to watch out if you do a background check on both of those folks you will not like what you find.I think that advice was ignored because its all about Maverick and the mark ups .. people must understand that this is no different than any other kind of brokerage its just a company Like Maverick has made it a national business agreegating all these smaller fix and flip for rental folks and reps their product its obvious even with my warning to Larry that they just charged ahead and I knew this would most likely be the outcome @Ann Howell  At the end of the day this is a very small industry.
