This will show you more evidence of the fees they really charge.

We're willing to live almost anywhere in the greater Sacramento area based on what we can afford, provided of course that the property is in a decent neighborhood that has a good chance of attracting responsible tenants.As for budget, I believe we could get a conventional loan for properties up to $600k, but my strong preference is to find a distressed property (or seller!)

If scaling quickly is your goal, DSCR loans are a great tool for the refi portion since there’s no 12 month seasoning requirement like conventional loans, and DTI isn’t a factor. 

There is also a ton of different financing strategies available other than your conventional mortgages.

You'll see some familiar names thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each app online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

We charge a transparent monthly fee for this and our digital property management platform - but we are not a local property manager.We also give owners the ability to use a repair triage service and our vendor network, or address repairs with their own handyman.Our goal is to make renting better for owners and residents.

.* Additional Charges: Jenny requested that I deposit on her checking account an additional $20-25k for her to purchase furniture, which I refused because I thought it was very strange, opting to give my card # instead.* Work Quality: Jenny never showed up to the house, she sent 2 people instead, she never mentioned she would not show up herself, she never asked for approval to send two others instead, they did not complete the job, and there were multiple unauthorized charges on my card.* Receipts and Expenses: Once I brought to Jenny's attention that we were 20k above budget, she refused for days to give me the receipts, saying that I needed to give her my credit card statement first.

When you are pricing out your offers make sure to price in how much you are charging for assignment of contract.

Brokers acting as paper pushers and contract writers will obviously charge alot less than a broker taking on all responsibilities including marketing. 

You will live there for a year, hopefully get some equity so that when you refinance into a conventional, you can cash out, but in this market that is pretty unlikely.
