Glad to pay for their time and expertise but don't want to get over-charged either.

Either buy a home (may be new home) and rent it out - but property tax going up, home insurance going up (30%), mortgage rates high, property prices high, then have to manage anything breaking down and I am not good at fixing things so I need to know reliable companies which don't over charge or let management companies take over but they charge 10% and already worried if there will be cash flow in current market.I was suggested to invest in syndication and have attended few investment presentations.

From there, I had extra time and made some mistakes trusting sub contractors with the demo, my electrician took forever and overcharged for the majority of items done.

Way overcharged there unless they literally left entire house full of stuff and walked out with the shirts on their back.I have hauled away well over 1,000 pounds of stuff for maybe $150, it was renting the u-haul and dump fee.

I was still super skeptical, not because the number didn't add up, not because I don't believe we're capable, and not because I was too busy.I was deathly afraid of being someone who profited off of other people by over charging for housing.

Much more than that in the beginning stages and you might be getting over charged.

@Jasmine Wevers As one of the mentors who has worked for numerous nationwide seminar companies who sell these coaching, mentoring and training/education packages for over 20 years I can tell you that I personally think they are overcharging everyone.

But instead of making their money AFTER they take the risk of doing the repairs at their costs and then selling the house hoping there is something leftover, they overcharge the seller for the repairs and make their margin on the spread between what they charge the seller and what they actually do it for. 

She has also credited me back the other deposits in full and refunded me some overcharges I found.

Wow... after reading this I feel like there is a lot of overcharging going on...
