This immediately struck me as odd as I wasn't aware of any form of compensation to the PM for any maintenance related activities, just 8% of gross rent and 1-month of rent to lease the property, per our contract.Naturally I wanted to understand the nature of this arrangement, specifically how much mark-up is being charged, so I referenced a specific sewer repair bill from 2015 that was $2,600 and asked him if he could provide the vendor invoice so I could understand how much the vendor charged and how much revenue the PM recognized.  

Hey Ken, I would look into investing in your local market.

Go to your local REI meetup.

That way you know they are active in the BP community!

That is really the way that YOU will manage the property as opposed to how the property management company did it.Good luck with your rental unit because there are a lot of laws that affect the CA landlord and renter, including more city/ local areas.

Everyone had a land line..  1992 to 2002 is when we were active with this program.

Look for local meet-ups and networking events. 

Also looking to join a local Master Mind.

But I'm happy to answer any questions about MTR property management as you search for a local company.

Generally for fix and flip, we put this activity into an LLC that might be taxed as an S Corp depending on profitability.Rentals are usually put into separate LLCs depending on the state.
