It sounds like folks in this thread got bad deals and are blaming commercial loans instead of the lender who overcharged them.

Mine is taking multiple months to find tenants and overcharging sometimes over 300% on maintenance calls from crooked handymen.  

It is likely better to under charge on rent than over charge as vacancy can quickly overcome the rent delta.  

Wow... after reading this I feel like there is a lot of overcharging going on...

Example of overcharges included* $300 for cleaning windows and cabinets after entire house was professionally cleaned* $80 to replace HVAC filter after entire HVAC system was replaced* $700 for a small list of punch items - 2 door stops, raking backyard, removing satellite dish in backyard and trimming bushesAfter terminating relationship, owner decided to send a termination charge for $450 (contract does stipulate it) - even though the company has not done squat and never placed a tenant and already charged so called 'set up' fee of $300..

If you just look on Zillow, pick a random property, buy it, and turn it over to people you don't know to manage it, it's extremely likely that you will: have it cost a lot more than you thought, get overcharged for things, lose money, and have a big chunk of your savings just stuck in the property not really doing anything for you.Not to discourage you, or to say that you would do what these folks did, but here is what NOT to do OOS:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/1167190-strug...I hope this helps - happy to dialogue further. 

High turnover fees without transparency can be a red flag, and getting outside quotes might help ensure you're not being overcharged.

Higher purpose stuff than a box LLs overcharge people to sleep in😎 

Either buy a home (may be new home) and rent it out - but property tax going up, home insurance going up (30%), mortgage rates high, property prices high, then have to manage anything breaking down and I am not good at fixing things so I need to know reliable companies which don't over charge or let management companies take over but they charge 10% and already worried if there will be cash flow in current market.I was suggested to invest in syndication and have attended few investment presentations.

You will get overcharged and have no experience knowing if it's being done correctly.
