@Orlando Johnson- If you were going with 6% real estate agent fees the $12,500 number is incorrect. 

This dragged the process out even longer, making it both exhausting and expensive—I’ve already spent nearly $10,000 in legal fees.

Foreclosure sale could sell at same price as original purchase, but with accrued interest and fees, all LP equity gone.At the end of the day, all LPs loses boil down to an issue with cash flow available and/or a decline in overall values.  

And @Michael Plaks is correct that setting up in GA didn't avoid the CA LLC fee. 

Also there is a management fee to pay for all of the above.

I mainly want to ask if these assumptions are reasonable and if there's anything I haven't considered:(1) multifamily units in NJ close to New York City, ~$1,000,000, 20% down payment, (2) Using the following assumptions: 4% appreciation rate, 6.5% interest rate and 5.0% refinance after 5 years, $10,000 yearly maintenance fee(3) ~$6,000 monthly rental and assume 3% increase yearly with 5% vacancy rate(4) Based on the above, the calculated IRR if selling at the 10th year is ~19% (considering tax benefits) and ~17% (without tax benefits).

That is part of the problem with a lot of companies (I am not knocking insula as dont have all the info/facts just stating how the business works), they engage brokers to get them loans and the brokers collect a small fee. unfortunately many of the brokers may be similar to real estate wholesalers - have little to no experience. 

How much of a credit do they offer at closing to cover the servicing fee?

.), the places im looking at are decent $ properties that after running through calculators etc showing 18-22% CoC after management fees etc.But after listening to BP for about a month, now thinking BRRRR possibly and doing up here in the DFW area.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
