@Malcolm Brown Are you planning to purchase a property in your personal name or via an LLC?

Personally I will not work with them specifically due to this fee.

If it's a consultation with him personally - it should be very valuable.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I haven't seen a lot of discussion about this topic which surprises me since I feel like personal finance people talk about HSAs all the time! 

The challenge was balancing the relationship between landlord/tenant and a personal/friendly relationship.

I purchase my personal investments to maximize their equity and hold long term.

Hi Esther, I personally as a property manager in Los Angeles have a process when it comes to tenants not paying rent.

We will shop for used appliances where we can when we need one… or pick up used cabinets if we can, or search eBay for something smaller,  but going to the extreme of personally shipping something big in internationally for one-off renovation needs seems like a stretch of reasonable.Just like you mention, the number of unknowns would not seem to be worth it to me.Just my 2 cents.Randy  

the only thing with that is protecting future landlords.. but then again thats a personal choice..
