That is what a lot of my clients are doing. 

What I advise my clients to do is make a list of all of the due diligence items they already know they'll need and the inspections they'll need so that they can let the seller know right away what information they'll need and what sort of access they'll have to have access for.

Since each market has its own set of unique risks, selecting managers with deep knowledge of that market is key.

Louis for smaller clients, most charge 10% until you hit a threshold of properties.

They do not seem to really look at a client's situation. 

The list goes on.You can get a sense from that that how you'll manage in a particular area is really defined by a combo of a lot of external things and how you fit your services into the local market, and how to best serve the needs of your clients and tenants.Beyond all of those things, the best advice you can get, if you're serious about building a property management company, is to really think about what systems you want to put in place.

I do some commercial conversions, and have clients who do multiplexes.

I started doing project management and charging a fee for it in addition to my regular agent services because I just couldn't justify working for free for clients after the sale and they kept running into problems trying to manage the projects from abroad. 

Alternitavely there are many that work remotely with clients all over.

I welcome these conversations when my client is seeking a mortgage.I am not in the mortgage business, but I have learned over the years that lenders may add back certain deductions to arrive at the mortgage-qualifying income that he or she will use.
