Anything under 4 is             typically considered a seller's market, while 4 to 6 months of supply is typically considered a balanced market.There are over 100 major cities on this list - I wanted to see how Raleigh and Durham stacked up (and North Carolina overall).

Every time you stacked these investments and that snowballed, the risk would lessen.

Quote from @Mary Jo Carruthers: Fees for buyers side has never been set in stone.

Lets say it takes six months  - you just spent $16,000 in lender fees and your $50k you could have invested elsewhere for another $5k.

It looks like a great idea on the surface but the numbers don't stack up from a risk/return point of view as far as I'm concerned (it could be different for you depending on your return expectations).

Lawrence expressway is a sea of stack n paks.Youd be amazed how many apartments in campbell too,  Bascom ave is getting gentrified like crazy I remember taking Grant line road as a back way to get to 50 and then south lake TAhoe. 

Focus on wholesaling the leads I get from my campaign (while refining my underwriting and acquisition skills) to stack up cash, then begin acquiring rental property.2.

A fee well spent for some types of investors.

Most sellers only care if you close so you can usually use another form of capital stack other than what is on the agreement, however, the seller can force you to use the originally agreed-upon payment method. 

Most folks are charging 10% of the rental rate for monthly PM fees. 1 months rent for a leasing fee and couple hundred for a lease renewal.
