Why, because of the extra work on my part to administer the hold backs, draws, inspections, etc.Now I can offer rehab money if they are willing to accept a third-party funds control company.

If it works it would eliminate most appraisal gap concerns and I would earn extra margin on the post-closing repairs.

What if the property does not sell quickly and you are living in the house for an extra 3, 4, 5 or 6 months extra.

Option B allows you to save an extra $12,000 s month (minus maintenance costs) and build equity.

His cost basis at that time plus any extra amount he spent would be his new cost basis.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

I would keep the property, take the extra cash flow & invest in more rentals/real estate strategies. maybe start another business. never sell the house unless i absolutely have to. 

Might be worth keeping it for a couple of extra months to hit the 2 year rule.

We floated the most affected areas, probaly should have spent the extra $1000 to float the entire house. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!
