Heres some common structures:5-4-3-2-1 - Stepdown (5%,4%,3%,2%,1%)Flat PPP - 5 year PPP and there is a 5% hit in fees at any point in time within the 60monthsAbbreviated PPP - 6 months of interest payments on 80% of the balance at closing.It's all different... just shop it out and choose a dscr broker who has the knowledge to help you make an educated decision.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen, and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

I use and outside company to screen and it's typically only $45 for me per person and I ask the applicant to pay the fee.

Click on your profile photo on the top right corner of the screen, this will take you to your own profile.

The first tab on the screen next to the logo is "LEARN."

You can, however, ask a Realtor to just list your property in the MLS for a flat fee and do nothing else, meaning you answer any and all enquiries, show the property, do your own negotiations and make arrangements for the closing with either a title company or a real estate lawyer.

There is a theme of a lack of due diligence, reserve capital, budgeting in general, tenant screening, location, inspections, leverage, property managers and just a variety of general amateur mistakes/learnings...

I have no need for the rent collection or tenant screening as this is a function my property manager does for me. 

New laws just make proper screening so much more important.
