I've also launched a residential real estate painting company.

For those that own property management companies can you give me any insight on what starting one up would look like and your honest opinions of the property management business these days.

My company offers real estate syndications.

if anything then I would set a flat fee to pay them for their service and then if you do find a property that offers buyers agents money, in which almost all I have seen still do...then I would have the title company back out the amount you decided on and the agent gets the remainder of the amount of commission that's left over. 

I've used a third party management company for all of them, and have not seen any appreciable difference as far as how passive they are.

@Chungying ChuIf you want more liability coverage, ask your insurance company if you can increase it.

We had to wait a few more days due to the title company needing to get documents together.  

I have a few companies I work with to lease units for their workers and I don't want to charge them fees - and I certainly don't want to auto email them anything.  

You need a real good mgmt. company to get it done for you.
