For example, if they're aching of tenants and management the most - try to negotiate a master lease option where you manage the properties. 

@Lauren Nelson keep in mind at your moms age, being a landlord can be more of pain verses being beneficial.

What did cause pain was a fire in 2013 - - circumstances beyond control - - but even then the MFU saved the day and was net positive all the while.btw: my fixed expenses are 30% and no where near the inflated $5k example shown.When I bought, I determined the fixed breakeven point as 70% occupancy and never suffered anything near that.When the UK exits the EU, Greece & Turkey collapse, THEN we will see issues hard to deal with.

I will have a couple of land contracts to re-fi soon and also want to re-fi my personal residence. i thought I would ask here for any great brokers who seem to get the job done with as little pain and time as possible.  

Probably because the guys "paying" the notes are a pain.  

Or if you are sick of getting these.Best,JC Paine

I purchased a Quickbooks template from Landlord Accounting and have used it and the great instructions provided for many years.http://landlordaccounting.com/For the registered agents I pay up for three years at a time to get a discount and use Harbor Compliance. https://www.harborcompliance.com/I use Cozy for marketing, tenant applications, screening and to receive ACH rent payments direct to my business checking accounts.https://cozy.co/for-landlords/tenant-screening/If you manage your own rentals locally look for a good rental housing association that provides education in local landlord tenant law and forms that are prepared by a real estate attorney and updated regularly to comply with changes in law.http://www.rhawa.org/Also for marketing I use Zillow Rental Manager (formerly Postlets) to create effective ads that get posted to several sites and to create professional Craigslist ads.https://www.zillow.com/rental-manager/posts/#/all/I use Movoto to check up on the local schools and demographics of out of state properties I evaluate for purchase.

If you find it to be a pain to manage yourself hire a management company to do it for you. 

That is painful because this is small town in Midwest and 2 bedroom rent is $550 a month.

It will be a pain in the butt to turn the property over so quickly.3.
