If you are new and don't have a clue, then I would certainly recommend them or some company that can guide you through things until you have an understanding. 

For example, we've recently taken over marketing internally because the property management company was not experienced enough in using the newer advertising methods we need to pursue.

I have the knowledge and skills for contractor work as I have been doing handyman work for the past 10 years, as well as learning the roofing trade with a professional company.

Steadily has their own product (with multiple writing companies) and then they offer policies through other carriers just as an independent agency would. 

Pay a Title Company to complete a Title Report3.

I have noticed that as companies they grow, their quality and attentiveness tend to decrease. 

My business partner owns a roofing company but has weak credit and more limited cash flow.An LLC is a common choice for partnerships since it protects personal assets and simplifies tax management.

Just outline expectations and roles, and what each of you guys are going to do, and how properties will be acquired and how they will be disposed of, and how and when money will be taken out of the company and you should be good.

@Jeff Nash would be a great resource to speak with on companies/investments to offset your W2.

About 5 years ago one of the sellers we bought a multi family from told us about a company that has a lot of landlords like us and we coshare insurance coverage.
