If you shop you can get one for $100.

My first real estate investment was in Syracuse NY in 2005.I relocated to Augusta, Georgia in 2006 to learn with a multi-family investor/mentor.And then in 2009, I founded Auben Realty, which has grown from a small local shop to a regional presence with current locations in Chattanooga, TN, Columbia, SC, Greenville, Atlanta, Charlotte and Jacksonville.Recently, Auben purchased a property management company in Kansas City to begin our Midwest expansion.

We did that for years up until HMB and other 'broadband brokers' closed shop for the unified HUD systems.

After that, everything goes to charity and we close up shop.

And if you open your own shop, there are hours in the chair required to be open to the public so basically, it's a terrible idea.

Since the White Coat Investor analysis I posted earlier seem to be debated by others yet to post counter-point sources I'll share another source that I found while researching WLI a few years back, Consumer Reports. https://www.consumerreports.or...In this analysis from one of the most independently-funded, unbiased consumer advocacy groups in America the outcome was the following: < 5 years: poor investment (versus term)16 years: you break even on cash surrender value + value of insurance received+20 years: dividends exceed term + treasuries alternative, surrender charges disappear In sum CR concludes: This mixed bag of potential benefits and costs is complicated enough for consumers to navigate, but poor disclosure robs consumers of the information they need to comparison shop.

Thanks This is your time to cross shop that quote - hit up @Raymond J.

I still self-manage because mine are in my back yard, but I have shopped around a bit.A common mark-up for scheduling and over-seeing the work is 10%.  

@Jason BottI am shopping for insurance for a 4plex.

Just look for a shop that will teach you the basics of real estate contracts, offers, MLS navigation, and disclosures.
