Phone systems, on-call Contractors, website, accounting, monthly statements, inspections - if you aren't willing to be 100% hands-on with your Investment, you're going to have to understand the need to compensate a capable PM to handle these things for you on a daily basis.I get it that you've had some bad experiences with Property Managers - but when you say "EVERY ONE of them is..." you do a dis-service to the Landlord/Investor community.

What I believe should be done is if someone is affected by this they can be compensated and therefore do not have to miss paying rent so it solves all the problems.  

As a result employers are holding onto their good employees with both hands and that equates to compensation.

--Consideration of taxes due for 2016 (and make sure that there are no tax liens on the properties) -- how much will be owed and will there be compensation for this at the transition point?

@Ayodeji Kuponiyi yes I have had same issues with property taxes, but what I have found is other expense items compensate for the taxes such as insurance, local license fee, etc. 

And in one scenario, one party gets a 20-30% cut of profits plus fees and in the other they do not.If this were not an antiquated system, would not all of the parties involved be compensated in relation to their financial, management, and potentially other contributions?

Agencies seldom publish their compensation anymore, and it varies greatly by what specialty that nurse is going to work in.  

But frankly I consider a fair bit of that to be a sortof deferred compensation for all the work of the rehab, rather than any sort of "passive" (always a misnomer in real estate, IMO) investment return.

His take is that the office manager is compensated on overall sales for the office so if you call them and tell them what you want you are more likely to get paired up with a rockstar that in fact does work with investors because it is their best interest to pair people up correctly and grease the skids for more sales.

This is the most attractive structure to me; I like that their compensation is tied to saving me money.
