I was honestly more confused than enlightened. 

By all means, enlighten us.

I am trying to enlighten on true expense costs.  

I simply think the depth of where your heading may have some enlightenment with the post discussion. 

So I assure you that I am not badmouthing KW in any way, but was more looking for opinions as to whether it was worth it to stick with them, or look at other options.However your response has enlightened me.

Dave, why is it that folks can be enlightened but are still so cautious? 

If you have any suggestions on how to modify my search parameters to better find the information, please enlighten me.Based on the information I have read on BP thus far, I have a basic idea of how to calculate some of the expenses, but no complete info, and certainly no article or forum post that lists all the expenses to expect and how to calculate them.So far this is the only relevant article I was able to find, but I feel like there should be more:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/19/real-estate-math/

If it works differently in MI, please enlighten me, I would love to hear about it!

Happy to have stumbled upon such an enlightening forum.

Maybe some of the veterans out there can enlighten us both on this.
