@Mark Bills that’s really strange, the 50 bps refinance fee from Fannie Freddie was removed just recently.

Mark and Jack - Thank you very much for your responses - I appreciate it!

Quote from @Mark S.: @Owen Rosen What about the insurance advice is ‘was off base’?

From my experience, most property managers charge the following:-6%-10% of the gross rents-Cost of turnover-Mark up on all repairs-Costs to renew leasesCould you self manage?

with an 1880s wood building (age of many 2 flat buildings) it’s not if you have rotted wood but where. for me it was a constant battle caulking/replacing windows spraying insulation to keep cold air out and conducting yearly termite inspections. you might still have some of these issues with brick buildings but you have more time (fix it this year as a opposed to right now) @Mark Ainley curious if you have any other anecdotal reasons why brick is better than wood- i know i’ve heard this come up on the podcast numerous times

I use that number because that would seem to be the bench mark for FI from W2 for many people, with basic life styles.

Currently, only half-duplexes are listed around the $300K mark.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.
