Short term rental manager aka co-hosting fees are usually 20-30%, mid-term 17-25%, and long term property management fees are 8-10%. 

Despite paying a substantial fee, I found that beyond basic instructional videos and repetitive weekly calls, there was little substance to aid my learning.

so the idea that you'll make a few calls, or spot a distressed property and sell it, and make a quick assignment fee... it's probably not happening.again, not trying to be discouraging, just realistic.

They typically communicate that they will be late and do end up paying the full rent plus the late fee by the end of each month.Unfortunately, we've reached a point this month where they submitted a partial payment at the beginning of the month and have now become unresponsive and have not paid the monthly balance.

You'll notice a significant increase on your rates/fees as that loan amount lowers. 

It can be a fruitful relationship, as if you have investor clients looking for a trusted property manager, we will pay your a referral fee for sending them our way. 

To move into my place, they pay a non refundable move in fee of $ 250 plus the first week's rent. 

Also, what is their monthly fee? 

What does scare me are hidden fees or liens on the property I cannot currently see. 

Prepaid taxes and insurance, any lending fees, points, surveys, settlement fees etc
