Educate yourself on how to manage what you already have.

I am a Real Estate Agent and Business Development Manager for a large Property Management Company in St.

Ask him whether there's another explanation for it - and "company policy" doesn't cut it.If there's no reasonable cause for that fee, tell him you're not paying it. 

I intend to house hack for my first deal and slowly build up my portfolio as I keep working as a Project Engineer for a multifamily construction company in Austin.

I also own a property management company that operates all over Florida, so hit me up if you need connections to reliable vendors or contractors.

Hey Daniel,I have dealt with this at previous companies I have been at.We did require a passport of some sort.I will say, we never had any issues with any of the tenants that rented with no SSN.

You also need to have project management skills to keep the project on target.

 @Benjamin Aaker I already spoke to the current mortgage company, and they only do mortgages.

In 25 years of property management, I have never heard one good reason for a landlord to disclose to the tenants that they are the ultimate owner.In most cases, it's pure ego on the part of the investor.

It seems like everyone focuses on choosing certain states based on rental laws and fees and fails to mention the the primary LLC should be in the state where the property is- in which case the the other state options are not helpful.The wyoming legal office did offer to set up a parent company under which my other LLCs be owned-- which I understand that concept.Thanks again!
