The deal will leave the seller at your sons mercy for decades (the life of the loan).

Actual cost takes into account depreciation so complete destruction of a property could leave you under water in terms of the amount paid for the loss.

Ensure you have an itemized invoice from the cleaner, which can help justify the deduction.Reasonable Deductions: Long-term tenants often leave normal wear and tear, so I recommend being lenient on minor issues.

I have to flip an entire house to make $12k, but an agent makes that in a couple hours without having to leave their home?!?!

Hopefully the first letter and threat of eviction record will scare them to leave, or it could drag out for months.

I also recommend hiring a PM... then they deal with all of this and leave you out of it. 

That is why so many leave.

Also looking forward to meeting any local wholesalers or people living out the house hacking dream.Thank you to @Scott Trench for leaving a great how-to on introductions!

You can measure the success of the brokerage by the number of agents that leave after a few years, to start their own brokerage, and whom become successful (some just leave because it's bad and try it on their own and never quite get it).

I left them recently like many others have in the last 5 months and even though our money was technically an investment and a limited partner contribution, they refused to give anyone their money back even after stating numerous times they would give people their money back if they choose to leave.
