For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

It is the same recording fee, just different wording on the deed.

That's not worth 15% of the job.Another thing to consider is that some managers will charge low management fees and then add maintenance fees to bring in more income, while others charge high, all-inclusive management fees.

I don't think he would allow someone that had to put the fee on a credit card.

Hi everyone,Last week, I was pulling rent comps to prepare renewal offers using my typical process: starting on Ręntometēr or Rēntcast for a rough idea of recently removed comps, then manually researching on platforms like Zillow, Apartments.com, and Facebook Marketplace.

Hey Christina- Was just curious to hear if you learned more about this and if you and your husband pulled the trigger on something yet?

I have read in forums that upfront fees are generally big no-no's.

@Ryan Rabbitt Did you end up pulling the trigger? 

The goal is to pull cash out as soone as possible to recoup your down payment and enough for the next DP purchase. 

It is a complimentary strategy to pull some of your money back out and hedge your bet.
