We use the collection service through our PM software, but most of these folks become virtually uncollectable at a certain point. 

Hey Jonathan,The program was through Lead-Safe Chicago https://www.leadsafechicago.org/lead-service-line-replacemen..., we had an old water meter that was replaced with a newer one as part of the program. 

Steve - I have never spoken, text or emailed with you about my services or myself.

A typical PM for full service is around 20-30% depending on the area.Or do you mean a PM that is local to you managing your out of state STRs?

I still am on the lists of all the major wholesalers and still show up to showings occasionally on properties that might have enough margin for me but have not purchased recently from a wholesaler.Just like Adrien says, they provide a service of marketing and negotiating contracts for you.

I am not aware of any issues with using third-party screening services. 

Would it be legal to wholesale a family members home (est. 1M), and receive a fee for the wholesale services? 

Though DSCR gives you a better picture of how the property is projected to perform vs debt service, you can't rely solely on one measure to make a purchase decision. 

If you want these types of service, then you should should look at the pay structure to see if it makes sense for all parties.3.

A DSCR ( debt service coverage ratio) loan was offered to me instead.
