I don't even mind paying ridiculous interest rates as I understand this is a big ask.

@Maurice Smith 2nd vote for RL Management.Regarding owner payout timing, it's easier to pay sooner for Class A rentals, because the tenant payments are more consistent.As you go from A to B, to C, etc., tenant payments are LESS consistent, so many PMCs opt to pay owners later.

Grow wide first, then deep (pay off)- your little expenses add up fast

What are other high net worth individuals paying in broker commissions these days, for high value properties?  

Hi Wendy,Coming from a Banker in most cases the Heloc is a Line of credit you only pay on the amount you use and a Heloan is the bank/lender gives you all cash.Lets say you borrow $10K as a heloc and in the first few months you take out $1500.00 your payment is only going to be based off the $1500 and not the $10K because the rest in the line of credit (LOC) not being used - Same as a credit card.

I've been managing 70+ midterm rentals for over 3 years and we have never housed a traveling nurse - in our area, their stipends (or what they are willing to pay) are much lower than we can get in rents with other prospective guests/tenants.Utilities are included at all of our properties and that is common practice here. 

And would they be willing to do financing for you so you don't have to pay cash up front? 

If they had moved out without paying, what would you be doing?

I pay the internet / utilities.

Quote from @Treza Edwards: No-my tenants pay that 100%You said your tenant's pay utilities 100%, BUT are any utilities provided by the municipality?
