I have heard that it may be possible within a trust but cannot find much online that discusses this approach.

Friendship is built on trust and shared experiences. 

There are so many fake Google/Yelp reviews now it's hard to trust. 

If you're investing out of state, make sure to trust but verify.

Some say "Trust but Verify".

I ask this because I have heard, pay cash, or “loan” your business the money avoiding seasoning and have your money then refinanced, buy via a land trust, etc.

In the way I'm discussing commercial loans for a SFR it is synonymous, but I think some people refer to a master loan made for a portfolio of properties as Portfolio Lending, so there's bound to be multiple meanings floating around.I find loans to an LLC to be easier than to a person, but I bet that is because I have some incredible vendors that I have built trust with AND I am not a W-2 employee. 

Background...the company I worked for since 2007 has recently been bought by a public, soon to be traded, Real Estate Investment Trust with a goal of aggregating 10,000+ units in the next 24 months (we're already a third of the way there). 

I have a property management company that I pay 10% so $100k.As the property management company manages the property like the leases, finding tenants, repairs, maintenance etc do they collect the $1m paid to their bank account and I trust that they only take a $100k cut and pay me $900k or can I instruct them to set up the online service where all the rents are paid to me so I pocket the $1m then pay them $100k?
