They don’t care how much money I am making since we both get what we want: they get to enjoy a completely passive, hassle-free investment and I get to make money by fixing up their place, furnishing it nicely and managing an ongoing stream of traveling tenants. 

I will provide what details and context I can about the entire history of our working arrangements below.Given the actions taken by this company my intention is to terminate our working relationship for the ongoing (in process) work at XXXX.

Should one off Realtors like this be allowed to perform leasing activities - collect deposits and rents - and advise their clients on such an ongoing sticky matter?  

I have been trying to refinance my duplex and I ran into a issue when the title was being examined.

I'm planning on going to the market with a  flip and then getting a 203K or VA loan for the duplex.

And I ran numbers by lender #1 and he says I should be able to buy something.

My concern is that when I ran the numbers I made a mistake thinking it came out with some cash flow but in reality I break out even until I pay off the $28K that I'm putting down including closing costs (15% down and around $7k in closing).

This is back at a time where all you needed was a lease in place for underwriting to show it was an investment house and walah, 75% of that mortgage was not included as part of ongoing debt, which allowed me to qualify to buy a second house. 

Before you spend mucho bucks on LLCs that require ongoing costs and attention and compliance, it's likely that for your first few properties you are much better off just getting umbrella insurance.

This “California invasion”, combined with few new builds + the ongoing land shortage, tells me we’re probably in for more price increases next 2-3 years.
