I've seen folks charge as high as $5,000 to $10,000 for tax planning and tax preparation, But i also know high quality folks that have fees are around $1,200 to 2k.

For the duplex, would you consider it to be in a high quality (A), medium (B), or low (C) neighborhood?

These are high quality properties that require very little or no deferred maintenance for the Buyers.  

You'll really need to screen your property manager/contractors.

Thank you for sharing this Michael.John is spot-on about what a quality human being Quincy is and what a great role he has played in building the self-directed investment industry over the last 20 years. 

Specifically, I’d love to hear about best practices for managing shared spaces, screening tenants, and setting up house rules.Additionally, I plan to split the utilities among the tenants—any advice on how to handle this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Not the case.Just like everything else, there are always different quality of Section 8 tenants.  

And the vast majority of us are just looking stupidly at each other as others are still trying to huddle up and run screen plays. 

Focus on tenant screening, building a local team, and learning as much as you can, starting early sets you up for long-term success!
