You probably don't want to invest in someone's first deal unless you know them extremely well, so make sure you ask about the management team's track record of doing deals together. 

My question: In the original lease it states to make payments via check or money order to the Property management office.

Depending on how this goes (and I will admit, I'm behind on it), this could set a precedent for the country. 

CAA’s involvement in amending the bill ensured that landlords can still manage their properties effectively while following new, transparent guidelines.

I own and manage several hundred SFH in the Lubbock area.  

The basics are I would rent a number of units from the syndication LLC, would be responsible for management and expenses (ie utilities), and then I would keep a portion of the profit (basically my upside for managing the mid term rental units) and the other portion of the profit would go to the syndication LLC which now gets over market rent.

If they put large nails or screws in the wall, then it's considered damage and I charge for it.

I've treated some patients in adult foster homes in the past - I wonder if connecting to the operations managers of those facilities would be beneficial? 

Managing flips or Airbnbs is a very hands-on experience, while investing in syndications or serving as a passive partner is much less so.

My responsibilities included construction and contractor management and overseeing the asset's successful marketing and sale.
