The reality is you have to pay for services like this and be prepared to eat the cost if the deal doesn't pan out.

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.

These are typically interest only and require a payment of 1-4 points up front depending on your area and the PML.

@Rosette PooleRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

This is the reality of the lifestyle of the typical tenant. 

If a large investment company wins an auction, SB1079 typically gives you the chance to step in and match the bid within 40+ days.Check your local treasurer and tax collector’s websites—they usually list upcoming online and in-person foreclosure auctions.Hope this helps! 

This will give you more opportunities and access to various opinions about the market and properties.As to cleaning services, you'd most likely hire a property manager who'll take care of that.

In my market - new build duplexes dont cash flow well but are typically a great 5-10 year investment. 

How have you been making payments so far, to a servicer or directly to the seller?
