Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

arm lengths transaction one of my wifes old clients calls out of the blue ( one reason I think being an agent is really helpful long term)  anyway he said remember that property you sold me 15 years ago.. well I stopped paying about 7 or 8 years ago.. they never foreclosed and just sent me the deed.. but its in tax default and I need 20k or I am going to lose it in a week..  

Just like a bad tenant, a bad PM can cost you an arm and a leg if you let them go too long.

Hey, I’m a Realtor in Staten Island- there’s plenty of multi family homes near the bridge (on the SI side) that could work for a house hack and don’t cost an arm and a leg.

I have 2 rental properties both on 1-year ARMs at 5.25% amortized over 25 yrs that I need to refinance. 

Many banks you would get a loan from would have restrictions against "arm's length transactions" meaning they wouldn't give you a loan to purchase a house from a family member.

I have 2 rental properties both on 1-year ARMs at 5.25% amortized over 25 yrs that I need to refinance.

Took a 5/1 ARM at a great rate.

Form an LLC and purchase the property using the entity to purchase the property with a commercial loan (5-7 yr ARM, 20 yr Am, Higher Rate, etc.).

They want to give me a 5 year ARM, which isn't appealing to me.
