They will take a risk at the beginning and charge a little more. 

Sales agents typically don't have a lot of experience screening applications.

But I think asking someone to fill out a prequalification application is too much.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Last two loans I did they did an Mai at no charge and they forgot a floor plan and had to get a one off for that one and no charge.. only thing we pay for is title insurance and escrow fee and property tax's and transfer tax if any.

I tend to charge more than market rent for my new construction investments. 

I see 3 days ago a charge for a whopping $390 was charged from BiggerPockets to my card.

Are you looking to invest in real estate to gain passive income or are you wanting to buy a real estate business and be in charge of operations? 

I only lease 2-3x's a year and end up using mostly Zillow / Experian for the listing, application and screening.

You do nothing, and they come to you.So again, it’s only hard if you do it wrong.Now, setting it up—the application of it—is a different story, right?
