It feels like a 'band aid' to keep their customers from revolting.

I reply firmly that the rent has been late for the past two months as well as this month and she will have to vacate the property.Again, crickets...There are few days until the 10 day notice period expires and I can formally file for eviction.So I reached out to lawyers in the area and they ask for retainers up to $3k and some $300 consultation fees.

One thing I am finding is the reviews for some mentioned firms are all over the map.

At closing my firm gets paid. 

One of our firm's areas of focus here in Detroit is scalability and repeatability for our clients. 

Capital management firms and credit unions tend to have better rates.

There are plenty of firms which were never dishonestly managed, no need to only look at rosy projections, which may not be backed up in long run and not at management past. 

In Minneapolis, are there programs in place from non profits and the government to aid first time home buyers with costs?

VC Firms and buyers would be looking for a portfolio that doesn't just have 1 or 2 streams of income, but rather also having the direct bookings and social media presence.There may not be many buyers who would purchase a 10-15 property portfolio, but if you scale to 30-50 or even 75-100+ Owned Units, I would think that VC / Private Equity firms may be interested.

But you want your policies to be fairly firm.
