I cant imagine property managers do EVERYTHING for an investor so they can sit back and collect paychecks each month...or am i wrong?

This is a business not a "scam" where people invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to collect application fees.

Only two options would work for me: A) 100% cash at the time of closing-within few weeks up to 60 days max - provided some active conversations going on.B) I will continue to be the landlord - getting market rent - will pay for services whichever applicable for managing property, collecting rent, etc.

Collect the commission income on the properties you can't wholesale and make more money with the same effort.I invested for a long time before I got my real estate license and now realize that was a mistake.

Try to set it up for 1 year with a extension clause to give you some time for your exit strategy just in case.

One 6-month extension is allowed, under the same terms (another 50% fee).  

Due to extensive renovations there was no rental income until January of 2014.I'm currently completing my (back) 2013 taxes.

I have a bunch of buyers who collectively have millions to invest, but I can't find anything to sell them either!

The ROI is HUGE if you know where and what to buy, who to put in and how to collect.
