If you hire a PM, usually from what I'm hearing, Padsplit PM charges about 8% and some just charge a $800 per month flat fee because it's relatively easy I guess.

It’s always good to shop around or even negotiate a flat fee if you plan on doing multiple deals. 

Flat fee brokerages have been around forever, as low as $295.

Conversely, when property prices are low, rental demand decreases, causing rental rates to remain relatively flat or fall.How can you identify cities that are likely to have significant and sustained appreciation and rent growth?

I just took the following numbers and pasted them in a repeating pattern into the Vertex42 spreadsheet on 10 month intervals starting in month one: 309.38 308.44 307.50 306.56 305.63 304.69 303.75 302.81 301.88 300.94I took screen shots of the Vertex42 spreadsheets that shows the total payment amount and total number of payments made.

They charge a flat rate of $600 per $1M in price.My local association and MLS combined is about $1,600 for the year.The only thing that I really miss is having access to the NAR forms or your local state forms, and the software to fill them out so easily, with Glide.com or Zipforms. etc...

We’ve already benefited from the rapid appreciation and from here on out, I think it will be flat or very modest growth. 

You should screen everyone the same, but still, it's a bit of a comfort knowing FF is mostly all working professionals.

(Avoid managers who profit from repairs.)How do you screen prospective tenants?

@Vernon Welch II most tenants offering to pay their rent upfront are trying to compensate for negative qualification issues.NEVER override your screening process just because someone offers to pay several months upfront!
