The real estate landscape is always evolving, presenting new opportunities to discover.

When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

People that get destroyed are ones that are enticed by the low interest rate and assume they can refi after the second year. 

These are people who normally buy homes but temporarily rent while resolving whatever life circumstances made renting a better option.

I’ll be honest it’s not clear to me real estate is necessarily a better investment than say the stock market, certainly not a bad investment but not as hyped as some people make it, you need to decide how much owning your own home is worth to you & also how long you plan to be in the area, if you will be here for the foreseeable future, bite the bullet and buy, if your not sure where you will be in a few years, renting might make more sense.

@David Overcash I am sure we do know some of the same people.

The truth is, people are suckered by this all the time.

Type up a DEMAND LETTER (some people call it a NOTICE TO EVICT).  

It has made me question how can people live the way they do.
