The entire reason I hired a company is they are the experts and I expect them to take full accountability of making sure I am in the know and 100% compliant.

Their role is purely administrative, so if you file incorrectly or choose the wrong entity type, you’re on your own.3.Hiring a Lawyer or CPA (White-Glove Service):This is the most comprehensive option, with costs ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.

Because first and foremost it requires you getting INVOLVED, putting in some rep's, and if you won't get involved and won't put in the rep's you will never, I repeat you will NEVER succeed in investment real estate or any business venture EVER, full-stop. 

also hoa, refuse to get involved.HOA reply to me, when i tell them i notice leak on my ceiling: HOA reply: you will need to hire a plumber or handy man to figure out the leak.

You also qualify as REPS, so your flipping income could be tax-free if you really strategize well.

Second, are you planning to self-manage or hire a PM?

Considering that he isn't there personally for the renovation he hires someone to manage the construction project.

I also think a lot of people think hiring a manager makes something passive, but we know it doesn't.

Do you get an inspection and just let the potential seller say they need to wait for that to be done, or do you hire a GC to give you an estimate?

I even offered to sign an NDA, but the sales rep insisted that they were not available for review.
