I think I recognize you from Gold's gym too.

What you're basically paying them that fee for is their discretion and expertise in managing the syndicator and due diligencing to find good deals.I listened to a recent podcast interview you did regarding capital raisers.

@Jason HaddadBe advised that LLCs are not recognized as flow-through entities by the CRA and will be treated as a corporation.  

Sellers who have bought or sold a house recognize it and feel more comfortable signing it; attorneys deal with them every day so they prefer it be written on that contract; and your end buyer who in an investor will recognize and know that contract.

That said, there are very few agents that add value to the deal...just do your homework, conduct interviews, and don't settle.

I have heard many offices will not take on part time realtors, but there are dozens and dozens in my area, I guess I have a lot of interviewing to do!

Let me know when it would be best for me set up an interview via phone to discuss more.

Outside of that people from LA and SD come all of the time, family reunion, bachelor party, general vacation.........its a quick drive to a recognized vacation destination so people can get out of the city and hang by the pool. 

If you don't get your answers here, i'd interview some IREM or Apartment Association members. 

Im still working on recognizing a good deal or as @Brandon Turner says making a great deal.
