We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

House hacking lets you live in one unit and rent out the others, which can help cover your mortgage and generate some extra income.

Until then, hopefully you can charge enough to at least cover your expenses. 

Does the cost cover all portions or are there "upsales" where more "services" are provided?

Covering a significant portion of my mortgage has been a great reward.Solution: My four levels of vetting have helped me find quality room-renters over the last 18 months.I think you already have the answers to your situation.

So most agents are only putting about half of that $12k in their pocket, and out of that $6k they have to cover all of their operating expenses: licensing fees, MLS/ Realtor Association fees, continuing education classes to stay compliant with licensing requirements, monthly "desk" fees/ technology fees to their brokerage, health insurance for themselves and their family, errors and omissions insurance (required), marketing, car, car insurance, gas, clothes, computer/ software, cell phone, closing gifts, signs, photography, staging if they offer that, etc.

Sometimes lawyers such as your former partner has representation with like to pursue things just to make a point for whatever reason.

Can anyone recommend a company that offers a builders risk policy to cover the construction period but then will also allow a cancellation and refund after work is finished to convert into a standard landlord policy.  

I would offer it on a land contract to someone wanting to live there for around 1500 and small down payment or sub2 with a large down payment and monthly that would cover PITI.

So to measure the risk, if you're in R-7 & R-8 it is entirely up to the local councilmember who covers the area as to whether or not they would be willing to introduce the legislation.
