My buddy's 3-flat just sold for $100K more than what he paid for it a year earlier.

Some packages genuinely improve property performance, while others might feel excessive.

California charges a minimum tax of $800 a year per LLC, and more if you have gross receipts in excess of $250k.

Hi Danielle, As a property manager, if you were my client, I would recommend that you incorporate a monthly flat rate utility fee into that tenants lease.

Appraisal fee seems very excessive if this is not more than 4 doors. 

It means the seller has listed the property with a flat fee listing service.

Since the NAR Sitzer-Burnett lawsuit settlement, I expect that innovative brokerages will start offering flat fee buyer services.

They may want you to list the property with them, or they may just be willing to charge you a flat fee or a percentage for bringing you a buyer.

For my wife it's a $75 flat fee when she takes out the loan.
