@Andy MirzaThe ERISA plan asset rules may come into play if pension funds are used unless the funds main line of business is the development of real estate (REOC), or the fund is a publicly traded company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.To qualify as a REOC the fund must invest at minimum 50% of its assets in qualifying real estate considered managed or being developed.

You can outsource marketing (any agent will list it), accounting (any CPA) but without relationship with Tenants you'll have constant problems.Such companies exist - they take phone calls 24/7 and then transfer them to PM to coordinate contractors.If you don't care about your bottom line, you can hire such a company: they will call to the most expensive plumber co, electric co, etc - you pay the money, they fix the problem.Fixing toilet would take you 10 min plus driving, they will call the plumbing company which takes $200 just to diagnose the issue (im not kidding - I've had such thing).

They should also have a customer service line where you can talk to one of their employees who has access to a system much better and more accurate than their online version.For CA, OR, AZ, and NV I highly recommend propertradar.com.

You might have an old cast iron sewer line to the street and galvanized water line.
