To be fair, I've encountered situations where the Section 8 rent received was higher than what cash paying tenants were paying.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

It's amazing how cheap it can get when you're paying physical cash and having your contractor pick it up at the warehouse.

Has anybody dealt with Investors Edge and gotten 100% financing after paying $3995 membership fee?

They pay for it. 

Their target audience are professionals with cash don't don't have the time or desire to become educated and are willing to pay/forgo some revenue for a experienced investment relations firm. 

You will get some of these as well (This inquiry was for one of my 1500 SF 2 Bed + home office units)..... but by no means does this investment strategy warrant paying for a course.

Homebuyers will always pay more than a REIT type investor.  

Especially now, I am seeing a lot of people who bought during or right after the COVID pandemic and are in situations where they simply cannot sell their homes for any profit (many of them bought as new construction).

As I'm looking over their explanation I notice that I am being charged 8% of the rent received from CMHA. 8% from the rent the tenant pays and another 8% of the water bill which the tenant pays.
