As such a median, is the number in the middle of a frequency of numbers and that frequency would be a range from very small to very large have a bell shape to it.

Some things like inspections and their frequency may be covered in your lease and you will need to discuss that with your PM so there are clear expectations for each of you.

My next question would be what is the frequency of flipping that would suffice enough to NOT set off whistles of engaging in a business?

In the first sentence of your post you said you may be close to needing a property manager, and then everything you detailed after was why you didn't.You haven't explained why you need one yet.Personally I feel you should double or even triple the property management fees you are calculating as part of your decision process because if you're a good self-manager you've probably gotten to the point where your vacancy rates are below industry averages, you'll need to add back in additional costs for increased vacancies and the increase in costs doing repairs and maintenance to get a property back on the market as the frequency of your vacancies will increase with property management due to faster turn-over of tenants.

I also test the types of messages I send, and different post cards have different response frequency.

It's a great question to bring to your local REIA.Once you have an account make a point to stop into that bank with relative frequency to make a transaction or two - even if it's something you could do online.Set an appointment with the loan officer there.

Welcome to BP @Daniel HaddenI have a strong familial connection to Japan and travel there with some frequency.

So long story short :)  i wanted to see if there were folks who have started to leverage private money that would be willing to provide me with thoughts on the best way to structure, what are some of the typical terms that make sense for them (e.g. interest rate ranges, amortization schedule preferences, frequency of payments, etc) and if someone had a standard or example of a private money agreement or contract that I could leverage and then potentially have one of my legal contacts tweak for me.  

In those cases most insurers will look at frequency vs.

@Jack C.This is done with reasonable frequency in Las Vegas, but it usually isn't 30 days and it doesn't always work out for you.
