A state like California that has ocean, wooded forests, flat land that would be good farm land if it were not for water issues, and hot, dry desert all within a single state has many different markets.  

Looking to buy a brand new house 2023 price is reasonable and charging 0.8-1% of purchase price is do able..my question is financing real estate but my first property is almost paid off and has been an uninterrupted rental for 7 years thankfully 90% paid off, cash is tight...could take out loan against CC at 4% flat to pay off house then maybe leverage paid off rental (private mortgage)?

You can flat out ask other hosts in your market (who have really high ratings) if they are willing to share their cleaner and handyman with you. 

@Patrick Philip I use a flat fee MLS listing servic. $449 and I have the house listed on the MLS.

(they do charge a flat $2 for ACH, but tenants will pay that).

I'm with you on the tax incentive argument: I'm very much a flat tax guy.It's not that rent control is "against the free market" that bothers me.

However, for a tenant who leaves on good terms, I will often just re-negotiate a flat fee with them knowing I can have a new tenant in place quickly. 3.

If its bare dirt , it just needs to be raked flat , anybody can lay sod , that isnt the issue , its the 3 weeks after its been laid making sure its watered enough .  

Fee structure for property management is pretty standard (1 mos rent, fixed lease renewal fee), though a flat fee of $99 for over $1,000 rent is nice.

Heres some common structures:5-4-3-2-1 - Stepdown (5%,4%,3%,2%,1%)Flat PPP - 5 year PPP and there is a 5% hit in fees at any point in time within the 60monthsAbbreviated PPP - 6 months of interest payments on 80% of the balance at closing.It's all different... just shop it out and choose a dscr broker who has the knowledge to help you make an educated decision.
