Now, on that side (loan from bank), I have no idea on what that means, or how they are structured, what is allowed or what is not.

The main reason is liability protection, but as @Terry Alexander mentioned, when you structure your entities correctly and do so working with lenders, it does open you up to a much larger pool and world of financing.

If it's more than that, we figure out how to put some structure so everyone gets to meet folks they'll be excited to meet.Personal opinion: it probably doesn't make sense to ultimately aim for a separate organization outside the existing REI groups, but we all have BiggerPockets in common and it'd be nice to meet others on here.  

Once you have a clear understanding of your deal, then we could discuss your fee structure.

Or structure it where the fee comes out of the sellers side.

When you approach the bank, I would look for a commercial loan structure as they can be a bit more flexible than if you were applying for a residential investment loan.  

So I have been spending a lot of time structuring the business (creating an LLC, building a team) and maximizing profits (upgrades, higher rents, paying down loans).

After months of searching and negotiation we were able to secured 3 townhouses next to each otherFinancingThe way i structure the deal is pretty simple. each of us would put in an email amount of money for the 25% down payment (yes, i put my own money into the deal as well) the the rest i financing it out through a Commercial bank that I has a relationship with.

Second question: What is a typical property manager fee structure?

Other structural issues will show up during the inspection and can be addressed during the feasibility period.If you don't have someone representing you, you can send me a PM with your contact info.
