I myself will be looking into them, evolve is stealing a lot of money from you in fees.

It also seems like you imply that the "fee" is somehow worth it based on this.

I break even, but i actually lose money on management fees. if I managed it myself I wouldn't be losing money., Lessons learned?

Instead, he seems focused on discouraging me from setting up an LLC due to the fees associated with California.

Otherwise, if you're assuming third party management, then maintenance is either baked into their fee or charged hourly like a vendor. 

We have the option to to get you funded up to 75% and at 50% less origination fees, I would need to know your fico, and rental list.

Our fees are not based on the profit or value of the project. 

Are they flat fees or percentages? 

I can pursue a legal action against the tenant or Baselane, but this will cost me additional $2-3K in legal fees besides dealing with a loss of at least $5K of rent and damages caused.

Hypothetically, you'd need >2K rent on a 250K home to get more than 5% CoC (ballpark numbers with a few assumptions, mgmt fees, putting 30% down, etc), and it seems very unlikely this would exist where I'm looking..
