There is a not so inexpensive fee - anywhere from 5k to 100k depending on the program and they take a % of each deal. 

Avoiding accessive PM fees (personally I recommend most people self-manage)These will eat away at your ROI.

Quote from @Brandon Blackmon: @Bruce Woodruff 100% the answer I'm looking.... a solid GC, has a 20-25% markup to I would for sure know going into this that these are private companies and they can set their own fees. 

HostGPO charges you a fixed monthly membership fee.

They give the same $12k in closing costs to new buyer, $24k in realtor commissions, tack on say $4k in late fees, foreclosure costs, etc etc etc  so they “net” $360k.

Too many are locking up properties at retail prices and tacking on outrageous assignment fees, leaving no room for investors to profit.

Unlike our real estate investment, there weren’t hefty transfer fees involved in either the purchase or sale.

If that investor hadn't planned it carefully and re-invested that money into the property or even the purchase of another then a recapture fee would hit them hard. 

These folks wont tell you not to pay them massive fees! 

What do I do differently to "earn my fee"?
