A stress-free life is the best life.Why have 100 properties when you can live the lifestyle you want with less houses that are paid off.A paid-off house also is one less obligation that you have, no monthly mortgage payment that you have to worry about.

Purchase price: $15,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sub to deal - paid the seller and wholesaler $15,000 + $7500 closing costs to assume $84,000 mortgage with a monthly PITI of $575.

Some companies may include in their contract that property management fees much be paid for the length of the agreement regardless of if the property is sold or removed from their management.

Regarding not being paid, have you contacted them?  

They had just bought it from a wholesaler for $250k and I paid them $265k.

Preforeclosure owner finance wrap, paid off the default payments and taxes with cash and assumed the owners loan.
