They might have a means by which they can manage the property at a reasonable fee.Please note that which ever management agency you find they will charge you an extortionate fee to manage the property unless you lease it to a renter on a long term.In Houston you have many options.

I actually just wrote an article on the importance of real estate agency in your hunt for properties.

Since I've learned to use collection agency/furnisher of information violations of FDCPA/FCRA law as leverage to get my credit report cleaned up, I've learned to feel comfortable using the law in general to my advantage.Your post clears up why I want to learn more about wholesaling properties.Thanks.

We would also market to area real estate agencies.

If I did not hear back from anyone, I moved on to 3 more agencies.

The unit owner merely has to enroll the unit for a yearly period, however they may still use the unit for 1 month within the calendar year with notice….The Lancaster Suites will operate as a Private Hotel and will source clientele from Travel Agencies, Advertising, Local Chambers of Commerce, Business Establishments and other prominent organizations in the Ortigas Center area etc as would any other Hotel in Manila…….The Lancaster rental pool will operate on a "Co-operative" basis.

Then when we list a house the agency charges $250 as an admin fee to use SureCLose.

If the neighborhood has a good number of homes that aren't selling, then you'll likely have trouble selling the home that you're planning to bid on.Contact whatever agency is auctioning this property to find out the details of how much of a deposit is required, how to pay, and how long you have to come up with the balance.

Interesting... could you tell us some more about your agency?

However, I just received notice today from my current screening agency (landlord2landlord.com) that I will no longer be able to pull credit reports with out having someone from their office come out to do an "on-site inspection" of my "property management office" to ensure that if it is in a residential location, it is secure and separate from my living area.As you can imagine, I do not have an entire (locked) room of my house devoted solely to managing my (one) rental unit (although I am of course careful with storing confidential information, as any responsible landlord would be).
