Charge is 10% for marketing plus a low monthly retainer for certain necessary subscriptions, etc.

You can even have them pull the lists for you to mail but I would suggest you retain control of that.

I set up one company with graduated administrative charges that were deemed to be earned and charged at future dates, this was a non-profit so the retained earnings were not taxable.

My question about a CPA and Attorney:Would it not be wise to at least make connections and interviews for future use, and potential pay a retainer fee if they meet the criteria?

The rent/mortgage payments etc. made by the tenant/buyer is paid from the escrow company as well as everything else to prove to lenders that the tenant/buyer is making payments.The seller retains ownership, pays down their mortgage and gets the tax benefits.  

If it helps, the least opens with the following language:The parties to this lease are: the owner of the Property, Landord,:Real Property Management Preferred (as agent for the owner)and Tenant(s) : John SmithSo to me then if that’s in the lease it’s unclear if you or the PM retains it.  

What do you plan to do with the current primary home-retain and rent or sell then buy new primary?

What about turn key deals, sell to investors and retain management?

It may require digging out some dirt and putting a retaining wall on two sides, but it would be worth it.

Take two case:buying all cash, depleting your liquid assetsbuying with the highest LTV and thus paying a mortgage yet retaining liquid cashDepending upon the purchase price,  the CoC on (1) will be your NOI/pp while on (2) it's the NOI/downpayment
