states if you are managing a property owned by someone else for a fee, you need to be a licensed real estate agent. 

She's been pushing to work from home lately and the properties are generating enough in management fees (between placement and the 10% a month) to make it a possible option.

The original, relinquished property was held for 12 years and the acquired property has been held for less than a year.  

It was originally two days and then changed to one day at some point, making it seem less worth it.

After all, they want certainty (or at least as close to certainty) as they can get in order to collect their fees.

The going rate here is more or less 18% management fee but they keep your reviews meaning if you change management companies, sell the property and the new owners are not willing to use the same management company etc. you lose the reviews so when it is marketed you are starting from scratch.  

Yes we could potentially do a HELOC, but as mentioned the rates/fees on a second home/investment HELOC will be higher just as a disclaimer. 

Market to real estate offices that do not provide PM and offer them a referral fee.

The high fees on platforms, less recreational travelers vs. more business travelers, and the cost of cleaning are really pushing me to explore mid-term rentals more.

No, I won't waive my wholesaling fee.
