They were good at taking your money and timely kicking out certificates of insurance, but if you have a claim, that is a different story.While they paid a fire claim (an ex-lover of the tenant set the dwelling on fire, because the tenant purportedly broke up with him) NREIG made it difficult, and attempted to undervalue the claim on the basis the property was not properly insured.  

While I am surprised at that, I also think it is the proper way to view real estate.I always go back to my first vacation rental purchase as an example:  In 2005, I bought a beautiful, 2-acre creek-side cabin in Cosby (near Gatlinburg) for $240,000. 

These relationships, if cultivated properly, will allow your borrowing to outpace your balance sheet.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊

The range for full service is 15-25%.Also as mentioned above you ought to be licensed and properly insured if you are to be a property manager. 

One thing a lot of people get mixed up with is capital investment and equity.. if you don't explain this properly the investor may think you are scamming him.

Each require a lot of upfront due diligence to make sure you are making the proper investment. 

If you have a clean, properly marketed unit you can get an approved section 8 tenant within 7-10 days.

This will show if they properly planned for charging the tenant.
