One thing with forums (even in this discussion amongst Landlords) it's easy to get offended or turn a minor disagreement into a major blowup because we're not looking each other in the eye and interacting as humans.

A PM will collect rent, have periodic friendly interactions with my tenants, handle maintenance issues the same way they would on their own home and manage getting the unit ready between tenants . . . end of story.

Granted, it’s our full time job… but even with 37 we seldom have more than 1-2 tenant interactions a week.  

You should also take these interactions seriously even if your friends and family allow you to be informal when introducing the idea of syndicating funds through them.

If they won’t, do your best to interact with that deal killer attorney as little as possible, and maximize the interaction with the principal without counsel.

I've played it both ways and from an asset protection standpoint, it may be better to stay anonymous.If you're having trouble with tenants bugging you for things or dealing with their rent, I simply ignore calls after a certain time or if I am in the middle of something and control the interactions.

We are excited about the journey and are looking forward to interacting with many of you as we learn and grow!

I tried ignoring the first complaint in hopes that they'd work it out - what happened was that they did interact directly, but nothing really came of that.
