@Eddie Werner great points and strategies there. Those things really help me have a light bulb flash in my head!  Thank you again! :)

Hi @Eddie Werner I appreciate the response and insight to my questions. You bring up some good points on the maintenance and replacing tenants I haven't thought of before and will keep that information in mind :)

When budgeting for the PM fees when running your numbers how do investors budget that first months commission? For example I get the simple math of just budgeting lets say an average of 9%, but that 9% doesn't include that first months commission. Would you happen to know that?

Hi BP, 

A few questions about Property Management companies.

1) Is it common that each time they find a new tenant to move into your property they ask for a 1 month commission fee?

2) What would be an example of a 1 month commission fee?

3) Do you generally negotiate that all marketing fees to find new tenants are bundled together or do you have them paid separately, and why?

4) When hiring a new PM how of often do you negotiate the contract?

Thanks!

Hey BP, I would like to start sourcing Property Managers in the greater Dallas area. Would love to hear any recommendations you have. Thanks!

@Tim Smallwood very inspiring for us newbies, keep up the good work!

Great podcast, it touched on a few things I haven’t thought of before when it comes to getting loans. Nice work guys!

Great advice guys and totally makes sense. I will take these factors into consideration and go from there. Appreciate the message and your opinions on this topic.

Hi guys, After listening to most all the podcasts I’ve heard some people live and flip their houses or live in then rent their houses out after moving. What things do you look for when deciding to make this choice? Does it depend on what your goals are, cash flow for renting or using equity to reinvest if selling? Thanks

Great episode and a hit home story. Thanks!

Great thanks guys for going into more detail on that. Really appreciated!
