@Steven Rago legally, whoever shows the property has to be a licensed agent.You can try to play games with that and have a handman allow "access", but it's a BIG risk.So that leaves agents & PMCs.You have two choices with agents:1) Pay per showing: since any agent can show a property, find the cheapest.2) Pay Listing Fee: typically 1 month of rent to put in MLS and place a lockbox so any/all agents can show.We do NOT recommend allowing agents to screen applicants - it's a conflict of interest!

I'd recommend using free trials from the softwares (Propstream, Batchleads, Property Radar, etc) and trying out the filters to see what would work best for you.

Need to vet your tenants carefully, would recommend a RE attorney to review your lease. 

Increased GOI Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You should start getting referrals for an attorney to help you organize the structure and language for your described arrangement.I would absolutely recommend the Investment LLC be 100% separate from the construction entity.

I would recommend if you are starting out, either narrow down your definition of where and the type of property you want to invest and find the investor to fund it, or the type of investor you're looking for then seek the properties they will invest in.

Hi folks, Know Rentometer is recommended to find out what a property would rent for.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator you can use to analyze deals and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
