Passing the buck

We have 41 lets, thinking of my daughter taking over all responsibility for maintenance, rents etc.

Pretty much the same as renting a chair in a hairdressers, i still get my rent even if you don't have a customer.

I still work on the tools 6 days a week building etc, 70 in January, got enough work for next 5 years on new builds etc. Then that's me finished.

The question is, what percentage of the rental income should she receive for taking over?

If you want to keep it entirely business like (as opposed to mates rates because she is family) then she should get the same as a private company / Agent would doing the same. I'm not aware of Agents who guarantee rent payments. Presumably we would be looking at the percentage split AFTER TAX......and she would be doing virtually everything so probably full time. It would be quite difficult to make the switched as some of the property would be work in progress etc. You know what your annual net profit is likely to be and if it were me I think I'd rather pay her a set salary for running the business, at least for a full year until she is familiar with things.

What about repairs, or, is that included in the 8%

Well no,

she call you. You charge 100%. She adds 100%. So when you pay her for paying you it costs 200%.

Fairly standard I would have thought.

I was thinking more on the lines of me leasing her the properties for a fixed amount, any void periods, repairs, insurance etc has to come from her %

I think I would go down the salary route as payment for what she has to do. See how that goes initially and you can always adjust things as time progresses.
