I spoke with Daniel E who seemed like a nice guy but as I learned more he told me there was a $1200 yearly fee to be a member.

My markup is always lower than the original lender's because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl, my president doesn't have a corporate jet, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

It means the seller has listed the property with a flat fee listing service.

If you signed a 3% buyers representation agreement and the seller is only paying 2.5% and nothing more then just ask that your agent amend the buyers representation to 2.5% so you are not on the hook for the last %I will say, some agents are VERY strict and won't budge from 3% fee which in my opinion is kind of ridiculous.If you are my client and the seller is only paying a 2.5 % fee I won't ask you for the additional 0.5%.

(I am starting investor, please understand)So many guys are buying in second-hand market, when original can not cover their mortgage payment because of the depreciating rent, and let go of their property at great value.

She came back to me and asked if I would pay her 50% of my cleaning fee if guests cancel within 48 hours.

In this case, you can use Rental Income from the units that you will not be living in and that income can count to help you qualify.FHA rates are going to be lower than conventional for you almost always, but FHA does have a 1.75% funding fee. 

@Jerry Zigounakis For your STR in Big Bear, forming a CA LLC is ideal for liability protection, even with the $800 annual franchise tax and possible gross receipts fees.

Then you get 100% minus cleaning fees and maintenance.
