We have a member of our team called the "Resident Success Coordinator" whose job is solely this. 2) Flat-rate management- We are not a percentage-based company.

I do have a good idea of what you will explain to me regarding my permit as I have been in constant contact with permit coordinators and reviewers alike however, I am eager to hear if there is anything new that I haven't found out on my own. 

As someone who has coordinated 40+ deals in last 18 months for clients, I can tell you that the hardest piece of the puzzle is the property, the opportunity. 

Get a Transaction Coordinator to help you with the paperwork (~$500). 

Agent-advisors would merely provide advice, coordinate property photos, and review offers with their principals. 

I work in WA, not IL.Sounds like similar facts - you need to be licensed if you are going to manage other folks' property.Here, you need to hang your license under a managing broker until you can get your managing brokers license, as brokers can't touch money and do a few other things legally.If it's like WA, you will have to hang your license under a managing broker at a brokerage, and coordinate deposits, contracts, fees with them.If that is the case, ask some brokerages that will allow you to hang your license under them for minimal fees in order to be compliant.

Using a GC you will have less headaches as you'll have one point of contact and they will coordinate schedules between the various trades. 

The more time you spend on administrative tasks coordinating with multiple service providers, the less time you get to spend on managing your properties, finding new potential investments and increasing your financial returns.Tax strategies and property insurance are two areas that are highly customizable because no two portfolios are identical.

More importantly, I’m super hesitant with the idea of the 1031 given that both the purchase and the sell need to be coordinated together. 

It has been somewhat stressful coordinating activities and coming up with the best plan, but I went ahead and contracted with a PA.
