I know how deceiving management companies can be when representing their rates so I just wanted to find out if that was something that was being broken down in your chart.

Understand your chart of accounts, the p&l statement, how proforma income statements follow more along with accrual accounting while your actual accounting method is cash accounting.  

I understand the pay is negotiable, I just wanted to see if other agents had any more precise knowledge of the typical payment sturcutre.

I use quickbooks and would be happy to share my chart of accounts and systems with you.

You have to include this if you are assuming the $80K was invested in example 2)$600K (total cash at the end of 30 years)Tenant buys ($20K paid):$100K (property value)$150K (cash flow $5K per year for 30 years)$350K (principal plus interest from investing the $80K at 5% - so the number includes the original $80K)$600K (total cash at the end of 30 years)These are not precise numbers, but essentially you end up with similar outcome, because you are reinvesting the "initial cash difference of $80K" or the "added yearly cash flow of $5K" at the same interest rate. 

If you just want a scheduling tool, looks like wrike might be your tool to develop Gantt charts etc. 

In my expierence that is all going to need to start with a well crafted chart of accounts. 

I tell them I don't want anyone living in my properties that doesn't want to be there, and that is precisely what would happen if they signed a year lease and their situation changed.

- How long the unit sits vacant for repairs/cleaning, and finding a tenant- City/town/state the unit is inPlease respond with your thoughts, hopefully with the bullet points above as points of reference and stated as such in your reply (I know, I am asking for a lot from you all :) ) But, for example, a Class D property in Milwaukee, WI probably requires less turnover time, lower quality materials, not as precise of a paint job, etc, than perhaps a Class A property in San Francisco, which would require higher quality materials, higher labor costs, longer vacancy since more precise craftsmanship would be required, etc.
