Akron, while not a 24 hour city, is still a generally stable, established city.  

Hi @Justin Snead, I would say just make sure wherever you take the pre-licensing class is IDFPR approved. 

And the cracks mostly follow the drywall seams from what I can see, which is typical....And as @Patricia Steiner said, it doesn't look like a pro installation....You could ask the Contr to use a flexible compound if this happens again, or maybe even now...https://www.dap.com/products-projects/product-categories/pat...Like everyone else said, I'd have it repaired - by a licensed Drywall Contr. - and then just check in on it.

Never heard of a voucher tenant being responsible for maintenance and repairs, rental licensing fees, lead testing upkeep, cap ex, reserves, book keeping and tax prep......and even if you self manage, it takes up your time and should be treated as an expense because its taking away from your ability to earn income elsewhere. 

I am on the board of CFRI, our local REIA and I know we have dozens of agents and investors that have their license if only to list and buy their own properties, but could recommend some to you. 

WA requires no license OR does so its not uncommon for a WA lender to jump into Oregon not knowing they need a license.

You are collecting payments on your wrap note and mortgage from the owner of the property and sending on some of the payment to the underlying lien holder (or better having your licensed servicer do this).

That is illegal unless you have specific licenses. 

The expectation established fell far short given all the mistakes and poor advice.

Also be cautious for you partner certain activities do require a real estate license.
