Turn over cost when your tenants leave (check leases), marketing cost to add to the placement and monthly fees from PM, and utilities if those are provided by the landlord.What's your exit strategy?

@Gisell Garcia I've used apartments.com, which is currently free and ERentpayment.com, which charges $3/house or $10 flat fee.

What's a reasonable fee?

An advisor, not affiliated with any investment house, who works on a flat fee basis would be a step in the right direction. 

Or you can keep making mistakes that cost you THOUSANDS of dollars to save a hundred a month in PMC fees.

I don't work a high paying job, I have no savings due to some financial irresponsibility on my part and I'm barely starting to get my finances back on track, and seeing as how I barely started educating myself by listening to podcasts about REI, I don't really have the skills or knowledge necessary to pull anything off quite yet.

After five seasons, at the height of their shows popularity in 2015, they decided to pull the plug on the show and focus on their 5 kids, on reviving the city of Waco, and launching Magnolia Magazine.

- Suggest you speak with one about their fees, but also about their thoughts on the market.- Do NOT speak to a PMC that can't PROVE they also manage STRs.

I haven't pulled the trigger to put an offer on it yet. 

Check fees, as agencies usually charge a percentage of what they recover.Thank you!
