If your manager is just 'keeping an eye' on things, collecting/reminding on a few rents here and there and some light cleanup while being compensated in free or reduced space rent then classifying them as 1099 subcontractor is great. 

For me, if I make $1500 net per month on a free and clear property I would make $18,000 / year.  

There's a free 7-day trial for you to poke around on those forums and learn more.

ANY company or developer that has to give you a free flight, hotel or car stay WELL AWAY... they have to do that for  a reason as they dont have a good reputation locally.Happy to advise for anyone wanting further UAE knowledge on real estate.

TY You have a few different options, but a cashout refi on the free and clear property is probably simplest. 

While you are willing to work with them, they are apparently happy to live rent free and don't seem to care about you.I had a long term tenant (5 years) who stopped paying the rent.

They usually give you the first 30 minutes for free so you can explain your case and ask questions.

You can get overviews for free.

But it seems like 'nothing' comes for free.
