Of course they are going to have bad credit or they would be looking in a better area.Another thing you may want to consider to drive more applications is to not charge the application fee.

@Deirdre Lizio see a lot of competiting PMCs start with a pledge of doing it better than "what's out there".Always interesting to revisit them 3-5 years later - after they've experienced the reality of challenging tenants AND owners.Look no further than Evernest: they started out with flat fee management at $99/month and promises of better & fairer service & pricing.Now they're at 10%, capped at $199/month - wonder what changed?

Assume that i got margin with IBKR their calculation shows 5.4% and costs 21.8k per year for 400k.So assuming property is 700k with conventional loan and 670k with cash offer.I manage to find another 270k (this is what I'm asking) without paying any origination fees.

Quote from @Sami Gren: I start by making the original tenant fill out a form requesting to add a new renter, and they pay me a $50 processing fee (I charge a $50 fee any time I make changes to an existing lease). 

I had a local bank provide a 1031 without fees. 

Experts say it can be risky for an investment fund to operate this way, since it may require ever more participants to be brought on board, rather than making money from its business.More than 60% of RAD’s operating expenses in 2020, the most recent period for which the company has released audited financial information, consisted of asset-management fees and other payments to a separate company owned by Mendenhall and other RAD executives called RAD Management LLC, according to an analysis of the financial data.Those fees and payments amounted to more than $730,000 that year, RAD said.ADVERTISEMENT“We have limited operating capital, few significant assets and limited revenue from operations,” RAD wrote in the January document, which sought to raise up to about $58 million in new funds, for a total of $75 million of company shares.

After all the fees from closing and paying back the interest on the private loan my new loan was at 335k.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

You can probably beat $2000/year insurance, but the management fee should be 10%, you need to factor in turnover too and 5% is probably not enough for both maintenance and turnover and I assume you added it, but you didn't mention property taxes (which have been terrible in Jackson County lately since Frank White decided to jack them through the roof). 

Finally got it straightened out and Newrez did waive the late fees because it should have been a seamless transition and was not.
