For example, I have a private lender that gives me 8-9% on the rate for rehab costs when I am usually getting about 10.25-11.25% on the rehab costs from hard money lenders, and the HML is not sending the full money upfront, but in draws (this is normal for most HML) which is a lot more cumbersome. 

We normally do not seek judgement due to the expense that is involved, even after you win you have to continue to renew the judgement every year.We put them in collections and have it hit all three credit bureaus.

We still end up doing a few things like upgrading appliances or installing recessed LED lighting and dimmer switches and other life-style upgrades to attract top-notch tenants. 

There’s normally action items that can be implemented into your management process that are more effective. 

This unique blend of economic opportunity and lifestyle appeal positions these cities as prime locations for both investment and personal residence.You mentioned Roan Mountain and Watauga Lake.. both are fantastic draws.

Memberships exist to lock you in and are not normally in your interest.Most club organizers don't do this for the few dollars they might make at a meeting.

The house needed some work which normally would have been a pain for me but after close HomeRoom did everything.

You are likely overpaying by $5,000.Broker fee of $3,000 and Processing Fees of $2,000 seem out of place...but then again, i never used a broker to get a loan so I am not sure about that.If the broker was able to get you an interest rate or loan product that you wouldn't be able to find on the open market...its high, but likely fair.if you are getting a loan product that you could have gotten by going to a normal bank...seems high and unnecessary. 

Most people call their services "cohosting" to distance themselves from what would normally require a real estate license.

Screen them as you normally would - does their income substantiate their portion of the rent +/- a little for changes in what the housing authority will pay out?
