Confirm that the warranty applies to the type of property you own and consider whether the annual cost and service call fees make sense compared to just handling repairs yourself or using your own trusted contractors.

Once I gave them the online option, however, and the bank didn't deliver one tenant's check causing a late fee, they've all used the online option.

During the 2years we’re spending $ on attorney fees, and I’ve got that “queasy” feeling, especially since it’s questionable whether or not the properties are worth the amount we are owed. 

When you add up legal fees, lease fees, loss of rent, etc. it can add up.

I heard it cost $100 filing fee so I didn't want to waste money if I didn't have to. 

Keeping pets requires a one-time nonrefundable pet fee of $200 (per pet) as well as an additional $20 monthly rent for each approved pet.

@John BerjIf cash flow is a top priority, factor in HOA fees (common with new builds) and confirm rent comps to ensure the numbers work.

This is probably a question for your personal CPA or if you don't have one, paying a consultation fee to a Real Estate centered CPA would be a good investment. 

@Paul Shannon Great job asking about the fee structure.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.
