I wanna be very friendly and nice and ive always been and give more then that is asked but i feel alot of times thats the wrong way and you get taken advantage of. Lately i have changed my ways and tried to not be so ...

Salaried employee of the property owner3.

We do need office space in San Diego for our business, but we let go of our full time employee there and now have staff in other states working from home.

I understand that I need a Mortage Broker license as a company and I also need to hire an employee with a Mortage License Originator, is that so?

#3 Hire an EmployeeYou could hire a part-time or full-time employee that has Construction Experience that could handle the process of estimating the repairs and creating the Scopes of Work for your projects.Remember, learning to estimate rehab costs takes time, so if you aren't willing to put in the effort to learn how to estimate rehab costs then you need someone on your team to take on this important task...and if you aren't willing to learn, or team-up with someone then you probably shouldn't be rehabbing houses.

I've talked to a couple employees and heard good things from JDog Junk Removal and Hauling, but I haven't used them.

Until I'm bringing in that much in self-managed rental income, I'm not hiring a PM, and when I do, it's going to be an in-house employee I pay $30/hour maximum with employment costs to find the tenants, make the calls, walk the properties, and deal with the complaints.

I'm an Electrical Engineering hourly consultant; my wife is a certified User Experience Engineer employee (higher level than Software or GUI). 

Something they thought me was to treat a tenant like a potential employee - the first few interactions are interviews.

I have the option of being hired as an employee or independent contractor.
