They usually sound good, but give very little practical advice and make it sound easier than it is.

Sounds good!  

That sounds like a nice property.

That sounds great to me.

Sounds like it makes sense for you to partner, I would suggest: spell out responsibilities very clearly, how you make decisions and most importantly: have a very clearly spelled out exit. 

One issue I see with this is that I do not have a real estate license so I don't think that would create any issues with STR management, but as for MTR management it seems like there are certain limitations without a license - any feedback on that would be appreciated-Staging properties primarily for FSBO's as I know properties listed by realtors will typically have an in-house staging offering.

It sounds like you are not working with a realtor that knows the in's and out's of STR's in the area. 

Hi, pre foreclosure in all of its permutations, before the bank sends Notice of Default (NOD) or efter which is state even county dependant but often starts a 4 week clock till the trustee auction are the 2nd most difficult deal scenario and IMHO only experienced investors should bother, the 1st most difficult deal scenario are bidding at the court house steps on lord only knows what is being auctioned off sometimes even 2nd mortgages, you need to do so much home work to attempt to reduce your risk at the court house steps...Pre foreclosure no one talks about these issues, always about the nice sounding stuff like "motivated seller" get a good deal etc etc both are usually not the case.- 95% of folks in pre or post NOD want to stay in their house, keep their house inspite of them 100% will loose the house at the auction. 

Sounds like an interesting Business model. 

Looking for peoples opinions if the quoted costs are fair to take off the security deposit.TYIA  The charges don't sound bad at all.
