If there is a lender involved, a vendor's lien will usually be included in that section of the deed as well.

I'm also is interested of costs involved using a property management service

The purchase price and valuation is totally different than single family and there are more costs involved than you'd typically see in a single family home (that can't be absorbed by the tenant). 

Others like to be more involved with the projects, which can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for...a partner or a banker.  

So, I kind of found this niche after I had been involved in it for a little while. 

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to brokers but I have heard that as a real estate agent, there's a lot more liability involved.

I think that's wrong for all parties involved.  

people get stupid when money is involved.

Very involved with good educational groups, workshops and opportunities in the area.

Income property offers some of the greatest upside with the least amount of time and involvement from you but is not a hands-off investment.Continued success!
