Every county/state registers land deeds and titles to property, and the records will include several useful elements of information; including, the owner's name, address, sale dates, sale amounts, the property PIN, images, schematics, or drawings of the property, and much more.

Can someone please tell me if it is typical that the active partner in a JV deal (the deal finder, manager) should draw a 10% monthly property management fee for managing the property?

The draw back to these loans is that they are more paperwork heavy than the other "portfolio" types of loans....but if you have ever received a loan on your primary home, it's likely that you will go through the same type of paperwork here with conventional lending.

I'd have a lawyer draw up the paperwork so you know it was done correctly.

@Eduardo Reyes Ask about their terms (interest rate, points/fees), how soon can they close, what is their rehab draw process (is there a rehab draw fee, how soon can you get the rehab fund).

Where to you draw the line when you’re leaning towards ‘no’What are your red flags?

I draw the line at 2 pets in an apartment as anything more than that seems to be a bit much. 

Add another $2,000 -$3,000 in expense, if you need an attorney and and another $1,000-$2,000, if you need any type of exhibit drawing for Planning.

The only draw back is that commercial terms are not as good from what I've seen.

It's certainly do-able, might be worth having an attorney who can draw you up a P&S.I would be willing to bet if you put it on Zillow or other sites as sale by owner there are plenty of investors out there looking without agents.
