I don't bother with get-to-know-you meetings, I get to know people when they work with me.For buyers: Here is how it goes for me: My cell phone rings, initial chit chat, I ask buyers what they want, set up a search for them and explain how I do business.

I am looking to either rent or sell this property, whichever makes most sense. 

The management agreement does say 10% or rent or $75 whichever is greater, but I think it's unreasonable.

I would have to check with the brokerage, but I did plan on paying a real estate commission to myself (as the listing agent) and whichever agent brings the buyers.

I refinanced after rehab (6 weeks after purchase) using conventional financing but I was only allowed to pull out 75% LTV or the amount of the purchase price (whichever was lower).

What do I do about internet/cell phone?

(cell phone, health car, car etc...) 

It seems that most young professionals have a lot of debt, car, student, possible cell phone and adding another payment such as a home just cant work, so instead they rent.

If you had chosen the hotel then you'd be responsible for hotel cost, in my opinion.comp them the cost of lease per day they were out of house for repairs or the cost of hotel which ever is less expensive. 

But you can only refinance the loan balance or 75% ARV whichever is lower.
