Then, you are charged a $150 move-out inspection fee.From the quotes I got from other PM companies in the area, it looks like they really emphasize that their maintenance team does inspections while they go in for any routine maintenance that is needed. 

@Marco Rodriguez - any feedback on what the actual returns are in comparison to targeted, given the “zero fee” by CS emphasized in many reviews?

The rehab on a project has the potential to make or break a deal, and I would emphasize that even more if aren't familiar with the construction process and its associated costs.I recommend reaching out to local contractors for quotes on tasks you envisage carrying out on deals you are pursuing.Most contractors at small rehab level will know to single digit % margins what the $ cost would be per square foot.

If you want a higher price as seller emphasize the advantages.

I can't emphasize that enough, don't wait until after the sale or you'll lose the benefit of a 1031.You could also take advantage of opportunity zone if the new property is in one.

I'm doing this on a property in E Prov right now - no guarantees that it'll work - but we try to make our case seem reasonable, and try to de-emphasize the "because the owner wants to make money" part.

But, again, folks invest in the stock market all the time, in ETFs and mutual funds, so it's certainly not a bad idea - I'd just emphasize that consideration if you're concerned about not being able to actually see or vet the projects you invest in.

Very little digital ink goes toward emphasizing this idea here on Bigger Pockets, it seems.

While it certainly does enhance your tax return, that's too narrow a view.Many accountants fail to emphasize the investment benefits of tax-free compounding - it is truly awesome!

Thanks for emphasizing the importance of a strong positive reputation in the field @Ned Carey!
