Until about a year ago we were using a bookkeeper to manage our books in quickbooks.

My property manager is still taking out Franchise tax monthly and I'm neg negative $200/month and I don't know what to show them to stop them from taking that franchise tax from my proceeds.1) Do I have to put my property to my WY statutory trust as I do with my other state properties to their LLCs?  

The fact of the matter is that banks do not want to be in the property management business.

Many of us get frustrated self managing and seek a property manager for various reasons.For me, it was a combination of problem tenants for one of my properties, then a few months later I moved across the country and came to the conclusion that hiring a full time PM would be my best course of action to maximize efficiency on my properties.

Unless these folks are the money managers for a money laundering scheme designed to clean blocks of cash with large denominations and private party placement and don't care about 5% US Bond scrutiny (sovereign wealth comes to mind), my first thought when I saw the 3% interest rate was skepticism.  

My property management company was "negligent" in keeping moss and algae from growing on the wood steps, rendering them slippery after a rain.  

How did you go about interviewing, hiring, training and managing them?
