Always consult with your attorney before you rely on the above information.As an aside, I think I retained Todd Rowe to represent an Insured in a claim I handled. 

Only takes a few seconds to respond to an inquiry so I'm fine with it.I have a handyman on retainer who lives nearby in case someone needs to get on site quickly to fix something (and a backup guy of course). 

Will you be renting the 30 spaces you retain out as transient or non-transient? 

I have dealt with engineers, surveyors, licensed GCs, plumbers, & electricians, and am currently retaining a former City Sr.

Charge is 10% for marketing plus a low monthly retainer for certain necessary subscriptions, etc.

You can even have them pull the lists for you to mail but I would suggest you retain control of that.

I set up one company with graduated administrative charges that were deemed to be earned and charged at future dates, this was a non-profit so the retained earnings were not taxable.

My question about a CPA and Attorney:Would it not be wise to at least make connections and interviews for future use, and potential pay a retainer fee if they meet the criteria?

The rent/mortgage payments etc. made by the tenant/buyer is paid from the escrow company as well as everything else to prove to lenders that the tenant/buyer is making payments.The seller retains ownership, pays down their mortgage and gets the tax benefits.  

If it helps, the least opens with the following language:The parties to this lease are: the owner of the Property, Landord,:Real Property Management Preferred (as agent for the owner)and Tenant(s) : John SmithSo to me then if that’s in the lease it’s unclear if you or the PM retains it.
