While my insurance charges are relatively low each year given this is a condo, I learned to better assess who is behind budget planning at the HOA level for all of the units for roof, cleaning costs, basement improvements (shared by all units), given this was run well by one individual.

With a 0% down VA loan and now a property value of $650K (+) we have refinanced a few times to get locked into a 2.25% sometime in 2021 and are now enjoying all the benefits of dealing with some long distance property management.

I'm interested in advice about my relative price and about the pace at which to drop it.

And 0% deduction on expenses related to the live in unit.

Whenever I see someone giving advice, I like to ask "who benefits"?

If you plan on selling other people's houses you can charge for that with a license.If you are only selling your own houses, there is no benefit...but there is substantially higher liability.

Plus, all that work they had to do on the property after they took over because the previous guy did not do his job is just about caught up, so there will be fewer service calls and related expenses like fuel surcharges.

Hi John- they seem to be in a tough spot related to the Synapse Financial bankruptcy- they've essentially suspended operations and are trying to sort through the mess.

The loans are a little more expensive than a freddie/fannie loan, but the big benefit is that they are assumable. 

This is a bright line issue, and unfortunately this is where people lose.RE Pros spend each of the following:More than 750 hours of service during the yearANDMore than 50 percent of his/her time working in real property businessesAdditionally, I talk a lot about the benefits of the RE Pro spouse.
