Its going to be managed by a property manager and thus a passive investment which is allowed per h1b rules.However, I am being needed to procure state and county hotel tax certificates which almost seems like I am launching a hotel business in the records of state.I am starting to wonder if this can cause issues down the lane when renewing my visa or applying for green card.If anyone else has a similar experience or own STRs on h1b, urgently want to discuss this with you.

They would not act as the buyers real estate agent, they just want 6% as the procurement agent.

Also my brother was a procurement specialist for the Air Force and we discussed.  

Yeah probably not a good idea to advise or try to procure a situation getting your client into an illegal business operation, especially on a public forum.

My financial objective is Teak production and sales to India/China/Europe and also procuring physical locations that won't be for sale in the future.

From my research in the market I was expecting ~10% of the monthly rent and possibly a procurement fee, but that seems to really just be brushing the surface.

We assisted in the procurement of the new tenant, but put them on a joint lease.We do rent by the room in most of our other apartments -- those are individual leases and we would consider this a violation of quiet enjoyment and serve a comply or quit if it were one of those units.

Then in house management and construction management, then in house procurement.  

.)- Financial Services (you (owner) should think about what you want the PM to handle, if it is everything from paying bills to insurance procurement to P&L statements then ask that, if you don't want the PM so heavily involved in financials and just more on the surface level of the operations of the property then that is okay too!

(Do they pay vendors on your behalf, do they manage the insurance procurement, etc.)- Do you have healthy working relationships with contractors/vendors?
