Yep, always easier without them and better for your bottom line

Bottom line is that I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Bottom line up front, I bought an acre in an urban setting.

Pretty much everything is negotiable in real estate.Loan Origination is how much the lender is going to make on the file (if direct lenders: this is typically a junk fee; if brokers: this is your loan officers compensation).Points: this is the cost for the rate itself (if direct lenders: this can be negotiated, as they manufacture the rate sheet with profit baked in; if brokers: the rate is the rate, you are getting bottom of the barrel pricing).Credit report/appraisal: these are the actual costs -- no money can be made.

Not only that, I remove the bottom 15% of those potentials.

I'm conducting research for an MBA project and am trying to do a bottom-up analysis of the residential real estate, property management market and what percentage of that market is comprised of properties with out-of-state land lords.The very specific question I am looking to answer is how many landlords own rental properties out of state, and how much do those landlords pay to management companies annually?

Lemme get this straight: I have no control when I have a highly liquid, fungible, instrument bottomed on hundreds, if not thousands, of assets across a continental or even global geography, and many asset classes, and I can buy or sell at a moment's notice.I DO have lots of control, however,when I buy a single asset class in the form of an illiquid, unfungible, single asset class that is highly localized, and subject to the whim and caprice of economically ignorant people and those who cater to them.No.

You may be getting a pay check, cash flow, or some other form of compensation from the operations of the asset going into your bank account but the asset hasn't generated actual profit to the bottom line until all of your invested cash is out of the deal.

(this is in the very bottom of the listing).

Bottom line for some investors there is going to be some incredible path of progress windfalls.
