@Paul Shannon Great job asking about the fee structure.

So, when Trump changes to no tax on tips I feel inclined to change my rental income structure.50% reduction in rent.Previous 50% made up from a mandatory nontaxable tip. 

Inspections are typically done by licensed professionals like structural engineers, architects, or certified building inspectors.

If not, then you really need a strong legal structure stating how these properties will be governed going forward, including management, tenant selection, capital expenses, etc.

I have been a Union carpenter for four years now and enjoy working physical labor.

Need some advice on the best way to structure this deal that's fair and beneficial for a 3 person LLC/partnership agreement. 

In the past when I am looking for a property manager I google to find all managers with physical offices in close proximity to my properties to narrow my search and ignore all sponsored adds that fake that they are local.Since you have self managed, you will be better equipped to "manage the manager".

You could structure it where they provide most of the down payment while you handle the management side.

And how do you typically structure those deals to make them a win-win?

Does anyone know, or have a good idea, about the difference in returns on entitling & developing the land for each scenario, with final objective to sell to a builder to build and sell the structures him/herself.
