As I suggested, if you believe your identity had been stolen, please file a police report and we can utilize that to help convince the carrier to make a full refund cancellation request.I'm very sorry you decided you didn't want the policy after all, and in fact, Obie covered some of the fees from your pro-rated cancellation so we could at least always put the customer first--even in this situation.

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.

A condo is cheaper, but what about the HOA fees?

Pick one, but pull the trigger.

My question pertains to impact fees. 

I will happily foot the bill for supplies so they aren't out any money out of pocket, but with the prevalence of contractor-stole-my-money stories, it makes it hard to fork over an upfront fee.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

For that SMALL landlord, turnover/vacancy is VERY expensive because it takes them longer to prep and fill the vacancy and they are also paying the PM a fee for tenant placement whereas the large landlord is using their staff who is being paid whether they handle a turnover or not.

If it's in your name you can look into the potential for a HELOC or potentially refinance to pull out some of the equity you've created, but you'll need to do the math to see if you're payments will increase based on the new loan terms.

You could buy about 80 of them, but your cash flow would still end up at 16k which is about what you are making now (actual it would be zero once you account for property management fees).
