I understand that placement fee if one month is often standard for PM companies, but usually a lot of work and effort goes into placing a tenant.

I didn't think it is necessarily a bad thing, just is more of a sales strategy than anything else.why do you think that the concept of investing in real estate with 0 money is an "idea" instead of a real thing. 

Can anyone recommend a company that offers a builders risk policy to cover the construction period but then will also allow a cancellation and refund after work is finished to convert into a standard landlord policy.  

The owner can designate a host who shall be responsible, and authorized, to act on the owner's behalf to promptly remedy any violation of these standards or the permit.

The concept isn't that complicated and the first one lays it out pretty well. 

I found one who's strategies made sense, 10 years later my wife and I have been financial free for about 5 years now by leveraging the concept of house hacking. 

If you haven't found  renter in 3-4 weeks, drop the price (but not your standards).

Then trim into standard small lengths. 

The problem is that it isn't going to be made by the standard turnkey buyer with one or three properties. 

There's a minimum standard that landlords should abide by - sure.
