If you get cat urine in the house, it can cost you 10x the pet fee to mitigate the odor.

HostGPO charges you a fixed monthly membership fee.

If I add up all the lender fees and my holding costs—like points, origination fees, and interest —I can figure out how much profit I’ll make and what my maximum offer should be.

I heard there's an $800 franchise fee yearly.Thank you. 

They remain whatever the original borrower has.When you use typical financing from a lender, you have the lender's hoops to jump through and loan origination fees, the appraisal has to come in at a certain number, oftentimes an inspection or appraisal will kill a deal. 

I have done it with some contractors taking Paypal where you can use a credit card on that site with a fee, or QuickBooks is another one too.

You paid 1% origination, closing, legal etc, and 4.5% interest.  

- If so, 1031 into something bigger and easier to manage and then when you pass, the inheritor receives your property(s) at a stepped up basis - subject to Inheritance Tax limits.Otherwise, sell one every 1-5 years when you need the cash, so you can plan expenses to offset capital gains.14 properties - presume these had to have been single families.Oh, I'm modifying the original post to mention leaning toward creating a trust which we manage..so we would own very little yet manage the trust which owned investments and such.Here is what I understand/misunderstand (better or worse) on moving every 2 years (as we are open to that albeit pia.) • Multi-unit would only support a %, so a quad would 25% and prorated over all years of ownership....witteling advantage to not worth the effort. • Single unit properties get pro-rated.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
