Current property manager appears to be unresponsive and also seems to lack work ethics.Looking for recommendations of reliable, professional and responsive property manager who manages in those areas.

It's a great starter property, so you can work out the kinks, figure out management, and build out your team.

Hello,My property manager is asking us fill out a W-9. 

The LLC should help you lower transaction costs since you as the LLC Manager can buy/sell property, taxes, etc by writing checks from the LLC's business account.I rolled my SDIRA from Equity Trust, no LLC (poor service, high fees) to Madison Trust w/LLC about 6 years ago.

I have been in talks with a GC in Georgia and his method of building is: He builds everything at costs and doesn't include any markup or fees, he oversees everything, I only supply funding, and we split 50/50 the profits after paying back the bank and all other associated fees.Since I am only supplying the funding for the deal, is there a way I can structure doing this so that this is considered passive income for myself since I won't be involved with the construction or overseeing the project?

I am considering putting them under a property manager.

There are a couple of builders selling new construction for under $300k. with 20% down and closing costs you could have a brand new HOME.Best of luck

Most of that here will go into the downpayment and closing costs and even then, especially if you long-term rent out the property, you'll likely not cash flow much at all even if you self-manage.  

We have 2 LLC's that run management companies and 10 LLC's that do real estate investing.
