General Contractor maintained control over sub contractor by delegating to his employees control over the scaffolding subcontractor.

I feel part of my business is stuck in the past using paper leases and renewals as well as maintaining an office space for tenants to drop off rent.

They will always be there for you, it's just harder to build and maintain.

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

As many see, they are easy to maintain with little maintenance and are normally cheaper than a SFH.

I'd like to purchase a rental in the Knoxville TN area, but I don't have spare time to maintain the property myself.

It sounds like your seller is getting advice that might not be in his best interest so if you are sold on the property and the work and the price, develop a proposal that shows immediate cash now in a changing market rather than hoping for a sale and having to hold and maintain it.I would be very conservative with the ARV on the property as with more interest rates looming, you will see values drop to adjust for that . . .we are seeing that in multiple markets we work in which 6 months ago would never have happened.

The only reason it might not make sense is if you don't use it, because it does cost money to obtain it (about $2,500) and maintain it (another $1,500-$2,500/yr).

Really depends on what has been maintained and updated over the years. 

Is there any kind of site, or office that maintains this data base?
