I'm in Nashville and have definitely chosen to take between 1% - 1.5% on slightly nicer properties.

Our local police recommend planting bushes with thorns under windows, such as rose bushes or cactus, as a deterrent.   

Your tenants should not be your chosen charity.

My business partner and I have chosen RESimpli as the CRM for our new wholesaling business.

Their management fees were 7-8% of rents collected depending on the property type and they negotiate these fees with the chosen management company in each market.

These types of loans I have seen done, and I've personally done a few in my chosen market.You can also start building a network of private individuals that want to lend on your real estate projects by learning more about private lending.

The title company was Prosperity Abstract who was chosen by the wholesaler, but I would also recommend because they are one of few title company's left in the area who know how to handle wholesale deals.

I'll be curious to hear your chosen solutions. 

. :( I hear you loud and clear, my dude - you don't want to crush your wife's dreams, want her to succeed at her chosen avocation, etc. 

I see Option 2 being the route that is most often chosen if there is equity.
