Quote from @Edward Toomey V: I switched from Quickbooks to RentRedi 5 months ago because the payment processing fee cost me $400 a month with Quickbooks.

Or just pay your sister a finders fee for getting the deal?

For every day after the 30-days, the permit fee is reduced by 10% of the permit fee.  

Avoiding accessive PM fees (personally I recommend most people self-manage)These will eat away at your ROI.

We pay Lightning Docs a $500 annual fee and $500 per loan, which we charge to our borrowers at closing.

There are also companies that will do it for $100-300 flat fee or $30-50/yr.

If you asked me to run a ton of properties, I would still be happy to do it, I may just charge a service fee at some point.

However, I read some bad reviews about them. 10% service fee from landlord, plus 8% from tenants.

I have done some research, but I’ve found that many mentors and coaches are asking for significant fees, which feels like a large financial commitment, especially as a newcomer to real estate investing.

They give the same $12k in closing costs to new buyer, $24k in realtor commissions, tack on say $4k in late fees, foreclosure costs, etc etc etc  so they “net” $360k.
