This provides me some legal protection as well as tax benefits.It depends on the person, most small time investors should just put in their personal name as long as they qualify for conventional financing. 

I am located in NC, so the service can be virtual. 

I also look in the newspaper and craigslist for basic for rent ads that provide landline phone numbers.Facechat, instabook and the others mean nada to these folks.

The property management company should be compensated directly from the retirement account for their services, and all income generated by the property should flow back into the retirement account.3.

When I sell/ flip I actually provide a " warranty" if there is a major issue, I will cover the cost.  

Your responsibility ends with providing a clean and safe place to live.
