BTW: most owners that have hired a PMC, don't want to speak with you, much less meet with you in person to hear a hyped-up sales pitch.Also, you want to do rental arbitrage - so, you will need to be properly licensed to manage properties you do not own as required by your state & local laws.- why would an owner want to do business with someone NOT properly licensed?

if you're beginning conversations with agents, and they don't recommend that you sign this agreement before the close on a property, is that a good thing or a bad thing? 

This maximizes my return over a Niche property.

Most traditional property managers don’t handle this setup due to challenges like managing tenant disputes, coordinating overlapping move-ins/outs, and the risk of Fair Housing violations when selecting tenants.

I am in the process of getting my Michigan Builders License and I currently own 4 small rental properties.

They are very different.Probate and succession vary by state, so contact a probate attorney in the state the property is in for further details. 

We have an LOI accepted on a property where the seller is going to carry roughly half of the 25% down payment.

BUT The points they charge and interest are both way higher than normal, on some deals I ran numbers the points and interest were going to be 20k on properties where the ARV is 100k so you have to get properties at such a low price to make it work that it is so hard.

Why not just get accurate pricing since its a property you already own? 

Quote from @Dinesh Nair: I am a Canadian investor with a US corporate entity- we closed on our first property and now working to find financing through a lender… however rates keep changing all the time.. is there a site to track rates ?
