I was initially drawn in by the low fee, which has since fluctuated, but may still be the lowest out there.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

It may be worth having an experienced professional helping you and you could always try to get the seller to pay your agent’s fees.

I think seniors would pay more and be easier on property, but I'm looking at both populations. 

Their target audience are professionals with cash don't don't have the time or desire to become educated and are willing to pay/forgo some revenue for a experienced investment relations firm. 

I wouldn’t be excited paying much more than the land value.

Hope you didn't pay anything to an S8 "guru"!

Speaking with the seller's agent, all the tenants are current on rents and pay rents on time.

I think the folks that pay for these programs have the wherewithal to simply cut a check and its no big expense to them compared to what they stand to get out of it. 

Cash flow is helpful because it ensures the property pays for itself and is a safe investment.
