I have not reviewed BAM's fees but it's likely based on their representation of UNDER 10% "skin in the game" that most of their "investment" is taken from fees deducted from the money gamblers place with them and counted as equity in the deal; this is a common practice in the syndication industry. 

Hey @Keenan Patton,This deal looks solid with a projected $60K profit, $435K ARV, and a $13K assignment fee in Northern California.

If the higher end rent prices on comparable units take an extra month to fill the vacancy and also the tenant stays 1-2 years instead of 3-4 years on average those landlord make LESS income charging that rental price ESPECIALLY if they pay a PM a placement fee upon turnover on top.

I guess it's just too many factors to consider and it easy to get overwhelmed and cannot get accurate info and estimation when I conduct analysis (ex. property tax rate, insurance, maintenance fee, rent, repair, closing cost, etc.) 

ATM business mainly makes money from the transaction fee.

You need to find people who love Costa Rica and would love to own a property there but are hesitant to buy a property on their own where they will need to manage it, and take care of it, and pay for the maintenance and any other fees associated with it.  

Early repayment will mean a 2% fee being assessed. 

We also have a firm policy, always enforce late fees and deliver a notice to pay or vacate on the 6th.

I would consider offering an incentive like a free application fee, or $50 off first month, free parking for 3 months etc.

I don't like one-time fees for software (he also says you can't buy it without signing up for his mentor/coaching program) because as a one-shot deal support, updates etc are usually pretty poor.
