When evaluating a property management company, it's important to look beyond just the management fee and consider the full scope of services and costs involved.For example, at our company, we charge a 10% monthly management fee, a $250 lease renewal fee (unless it’s a takeover tenant, which requires additional effort to establish a strong relationship - because usually people are changing pm companies for a reason), and the first month’s rent as a leasing fee.

Would you mind sharing the cost?

As for valuation, I see no reasons why a Junior ADU would negatively impact additional housing unit.

The carrying costs are low, but tenant was making partial payments by month 2.

Procrastination will only cost them more. yep. carrying costs alone, but also if its not your money and investor money - some will try and drag it out. 

Reason being HML's are typically short term loans that are interest only.

Rent is late in month 8, but she has a good reason and it's the first time.

I really want this property for so many reasons and don't just want to just walk away.Yes.

@Franklin PerezGetting your real estate license can be a smart move if you want MLS access, networking opportunities, and savings on commissions, but it comes with costs and disclosure requirements.
