Setting up direct bookings is a great way to avoid platform fees!

What I love the most is two fold, the interest paid back on the loan goes back to you, the fees to do this are extremely minimal. 

The property was rented and generated $160 cash flow after mortgage, taxes, insurance and property management fees were paid.

It is a fairly signinificant set up fee and monthly charge. 

Then pay them a fee for finding the deal and pay them 8-10% of rents to manage the rental(s).

Our 275 sq ft furnished garage should rent for $1600 - $1800/mo and the only extra fees compared to long term is $99/yr to post on furnishedfinders.com. ...I should have this finished by the end of next month, so can keep you updated on whether this plan works and what we rent for. 

The AMC charges a fee on top of the appraisers.

Not only will you get more square footage for the price, but many condos include utilities in the rental fee, so you won’t have to worry about additional charges for electricity or water.

States Can Still Require Additional FilingsEven though 506(b) offerings are exempt from state registration, individual states can still require notice filings and fees.

They can only collect the admin fee which is roughly $150/yr.
