I'm currently looking to start a Property Management company. I have multiple people that own multiple units that need a company to manage their properties. As I work everything out there are still some questions that I prefer not to get from Google.

Is there an initial fee management companies charge new clients with preexisting properties besides the monthly percentage to manage them when starting new business? How do they typically charge and when do they bill the client for things that need to get fixed on the property? What monthly percentage does the management company typically collect from the monthly rent?

I understand that each company is different and handles things differently. I'm just curious to see what you all pay, charge, or have observed.

Feel free to add any advice or anything that will help with your responses.

Thank you for you time, I appreciate it.

TL drywall in Chester county is great. Not sure if he goes into the city though.

 Have you used that company for your renovations? I'm looking for good contractors in Chester County that people know from experience.

What I do know, is that they both have ruined more deals than I can count, and saved my butt almost as many.

On the other hand, I once had one tell me that, "if it wasn't for attorneys, you wouldn't need lawyers".

One more thing.  Go look up the definition in the dictionary of both of them, and tell me what you see.  Actually, a thesaurus might be a better place to look them both up....which leads back to my original statement of,

"I can't answer that question....not sure anyone can."

 I'm not asking what's the difference between them, I'm asking should I have one. I wanted to know if there certain situations that they need to handle paperwork, do they handle all paperwork, or are they need for big commercial purchases. I deal with residential and I want to make sure I'm doing things right.

I read and heard paying contractors 50% up front is bad. They could start not showing up everyday, slacking off, and so on. I heard of setting deadline penalties and paying a certain amount after they complete certain parts of the contract.

How do you structure the pay or deadlines? What are some good things to remember or think about when dealing with contractors and paying them?

Thanks in advance

I coming up on my first flip and I'm not sure when and for what exactly I will need a lawyer or attorney for. How much do I have to expect to pay them?

Depending on volume of homes you project seeing, cost of licensure and potential cost of hanging your hat somewhere, recurring continuing education costs and time may or may not be worth it. Make sure you factor in not just the money it takes to obtain and maintain your license, but the time it takes as well. Most investors in my area (on the single family residential side) are finding deals that aren't listed- but every market is different. 

 How do they go about finding the properties that aren't listed?

Yeah, there's not a good way to do this from the phone, unfortunately. The app definitely needs some work on the functional side. I usually use a combination of the app and pulling it up on a Google browser; the app does a good job showing all the posts and typing in replies, but leaves out a lot of the site's abilities, so I keep the Chrome browser open for that (i.e. "quote"). 

 Ok I get the quote thing now. I had to go to my email to get to this post. My mobile app doesn't have a quote option and the mobile websitr doesn't have the option to get to your own discussion. Maybe I'll let try the desktop website on my phone
