@Corby Goade I agree: paying a month for a professional pm to find someone to me is worth not only the time and effort but the cost.

Long Term non-paying Tenants.

Because it is an investment property, you would pay all fees, including appraisal.

More than happy to partner up or pay for the deal itself.

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

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.

Also, if you are a minority, WRA has the Partnership for Success program, which helps pay for your start up costs.

Our current mortgage terms include a late fee after 5 days, so they’re already paying extra each month and have to split the total monthly payment up between 2-3 payments when they get their pay check.

The garage and the fact that a long term tenant was in place paying market rent.

I would stay away from section 8, pull credit and background, and call referrals, and look at pay stubs for everyone who applies.
