I signed up to rentredi for a test drive and saw an option where they offer an add on option, one for an emergency maintenance service for 15/unit/month and one for a  full coordination service for 25 /unit/month.

Out-of-state investing is hard for first-timers and when you add on more things like Section 8, need of a PM, maybe no plans to be there, HOA requirements and potential assessments if it's a condo or townhouse, it's a lot to bite off for a first one.

Just an add on that Jorge Zea is my broker and is a bigger pockets member. 

The cost doesnt have to be included in the rental, it will be an add on. so people can just pick what they want kind of like an a-la-carte so it doesn't really hurt to offer it ya know?

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

It's not meant as a counter of properties...just dollars.What would actually happen, is instead of adding more and more properties based on a $20k DP, you would only add one property at a time...based on the total dollars available at that time.So, if at some point of sale, you sold a total value of$????

Some never buy some do, but I get paid very minimal I believe for the amount of coaching, mentoring and advice I give out to all my clients PLUS then add on top of just doing my job in the deal and after the deal. 

To add on to what everyone else is saying, you may also be working with the wrong type of agent.

I will add one thing here especially for Marty because he makes a great point about returns.
