This immediately struck me as odd as I wasn't aware of any form of compensation to the PM for any maintenance related activities, just 8% of gross rent and 1-month of rent to lease the property, per our contract.Naturally I wanted to understand the nature of this arrangement, specifically how much mark-up is being charged, so I referenced a specific sewer repair bill from 2015 that was $2,600 and asked him if he could provide the vendor invoice so I could understand how much the vendor charged and how much revenue the PM recognized.

Information and exposure has been increased radically in the last 10 years, and hence those killer deals don’t seem to be there anymore.Fortunately for me, I had the good fortune to know and learn from the (imo) absolutely most knowledgeable, innovative, and talented note investor teacher back 40 some odd years ago.
