This couple has suggested that they receive that compensation, AND a percentage of the profits from the sale.

Do you have any suggestions on a multifamily realtor?

I suggest buying a property that makes you money every month.

Any suggestions on home inspectors that you've used in the past?

I usually suggest a price range of $100K - $150K to people who are investing in Milwaukee from out of state. 

We suggested that Terry offer any vacant units to deserving tenants (after passing her usual checks!)

In case it is a single member the taxes are done on your personal return.If you want a more professional treatment I suggest you contact Borders and Borders real Estate Attorneys.

I'd suggest getting as much financial details from the owner and actually researching to ensure that what you are being provided by the seller makes sense.  

If you perform the repair personally, you have to be reasonable in charging fair market rate. eg. if it takes 1 hr of your labor for some handyman's work, $20-30/hr is reasonable, even you're probably paid much more in your own line of work.My suggestion is to first fire the PM who obviously wanted to skim some profit by inflating the repair cost while exposing you to lawsuits (remember you're in CA - a blue state and San Jose - a city with rent control).

@Bruce Runn  can you offer me some suggestions?
