the seller pays the buyers agent as well.as an agent you work for your broker for 2 years in most states then you can take the brokers exam and be on your own .. so yes there is a apprenticeship if you will.there are plenty of low cost brokers that only charge a very very nominal fee to hang your license I mean less than 500 a transaction.. just have to google for them.. these cater to investor agents.and an agent is at no disadvantage vis a vi making offers on MLS properties as anyone else.. only thing you put in your offer is a statement staying you are an agent.. that's all that's requiredWhat @Chinmay J. is referring to is you get the hot sheet at 2 in the morning.. now not many brokers or agents I know is going to look at it scan it and send you deals. .you need to do this for yourself.My wife is an agent she does one flip a quarter.. she finds them on MLS ( and not at 2 am either LOL) last one she did she made a little over 125k cash in her skinny jeans.. right off of MLS.. now there was multiple offers and she is very ex[pericned at this and usually will land the deals.And even if you don't get your deals on MLS if your in the flipping to retail bizz your going to sell your home on MLS.. so being an agent to list your own deals is critical in my mind and anyone who does not control their own listings and sales side as a flipper builder is really just giving money away and not in control.now that's in the state I live in.. in other states I hire brokers..

And if so, is there any structure he could set up that could avoid double taxation on a one time Canadian part investor (who is not a member of the LLC nor on the deed of the property) on a single project ?

If anyone wants to go in on this deal with me as 50/50 partners, I'll let you pay the 120k and we'll each own a Quarter!!

Every one does it different.For me anymore, I look at total cash put in my real estate business excluding refinances as part of the BRRR strategy, then calculate my ROI on that at the end of each quarter then at the end of each year.

They come out quarterly and I meet them at the property.  

On the one or two occasions where we have had an issue with housekeeping, a call to the guarantor (Mom or Dad) to explain there would be an additional charge for our cleaning service had the desired effect.However, student rentals tend to be more hands-on than our "young professionals" - we pass through each unit about once per quarter (air filters, smoke/CO detectors, etc) which allows us to stay on top of cleanliness and repairs (which, when attributable to the tenant, we invoice right away).

One of the best things that helped us keep up with this particular property were the quarterly inspections where they would take about about 50 pictures in and around the house. 

By the way, I've scheduled the next quarterly Charleston investor's networking happy hour I host.

My biggest take away from the event was how little time he feels you need to spend working on your goals and that just a simple quarterly strategy session on your personal and professional goals results in substantial results.
