If you don't need assistance marketing the property and just filling out paperwork with a tenant you found, many agents will charge you a flat fee that may be cheaper than an attorney. 

Offer Value Beyond PriceIn competitive or slow markets, creating value for the seller can tip the deal in your favor: Quick Closings: If you can close faster than competitors, this might persuade the seller to accept a slightly lower offer.

If there are any NY market stats/comparisons, you'd like to see in the future, post a reply or shoot me a PM.Below is a quick Q3 comparison between this year and '23 for Suffolk County:Summary:- Single Family values continue climbing- Multifamily Properties are selling faster than last year - Market activity (sold properties) has remained steadyMultifamily sale prices have (slightly) dropped despite sales activity remaining similar to Q3 last year.

And if my credit hadn't been good enough, they could have charged me twice that much.I had to have enough money to travel back and forth to interviews with the property manager, and the housing authority interviews, too.So, my point is that - you can be really picky, even if you agree to accept Section 8 tenants.But, if your property is the type of property where nobody in their right minds would rent it - unless they had absolutely no other options - then don't buy that property in the first place.If it's too late for the above, then try to be super picky.

We also didn’t charge them rent while they were in temporary housing.

Time to scale faster and keep that capital in motion!

They went belly up and now are getting personally sued. someone sent this to me the other day that I posted in another group as well: Document List (state.ny.us) - I will also add I am in note investing and a famous guru who now has around $2M +/- in judgments against them used to have large conferences and would charge for it.

So does anyone else have a situation where there are other fees that are charged when a guest arrives (e.g. parking in the building, etc.).  

Vacancy charges, repair charges, what are all the fee's.

I would also charge a lot more than I would for a residential rental.Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it unless you've really studied it and understand how to protect yourself and earn fair compensation.
