But there are more similarities than you’d expect.The challenge is how to monitor these multiple, dispersed locations simultaneously, without the cost of hiring more staff.

I am also looking for a GC to hire/partner with me to build some small multifamily housing (townhomes) in the area.

She knew she would be working around those 2 trades people.I am at the point that I am more than willing to let the house sit for a week or two extra to be able to hire out the work and do not plan on giving out move in dates in the future unless the property is VACANT! 

If you need the yard cut while it is vacant, hire online, have them take a picture when complete. 

My management company suggests hiring a part time on site manager at the rate of $15-20 per hour (higher pay depending on willingness of job responsibilities).  

I'll hire a RE lawyer.

As far as encumberances thats what you hire a title company for.

Why not just hire a GC to do what you want and stay legal, legit and ethical?

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

In the future I may try to fully hire out, troubleshooting a snow blower or mower that won't start may be my least favorite part of being a landlord lol.
