I'm going to be a bit brutally honest here, but from a client's perspective, they don't want to work with an agent who needs the money because it's an obvious conflict with their interests, and they can easily work with someone who has actually purchased before vs someone who hasn't.  

I have read conflicting information as to the requirements and limitations of a real estate agent being part of an LLC owning rental property.   

So sorry I forgot to ask what a professional CSS would cost to take myself out of the loop of doing it because to me it would feel like a conflict of interest situation making it less valid?

Most listings are based on Proforma numbers, not existing (conflict with buyers that look at existing)3.

It more becomes a conflict as a realtor when you go to purchase yourself.

Can you say “conflict of interest”?

Overall real estate syndicates is not for everyone because you have to realise that you may have very limited control over investment, fees and expenses the syndicate, potential for conflicts of among members.

@Charles AdamsThat is a game changing statement for sure and enough to get the plaintiffs attorney excited You will still get a lot of conflicting opinions and the fear mongering is very real.....Some of it is warranted and some is just sales based on scare tactics I have owned in my personal name and been sued personally not really a fun experience haha  

This frees up your time, as the manager handles day-to-day operations, emergencies, conflict resolution, etc.

Quote from @Derek Fike: Hey Everyone,I know that there has been quite a bit of conflict as to whether an STR can be profitable or not, so I figured that coming to this community for perspective would be best.
