Lets put it this way, If they ask for a Single Dime up front RUN !

Excuses are a dime a dozen .

Why step over the dollars to pick up the dimes?

If there is one dime of equity over the senior lienholder's balance, there is no lien avoidance or stripping of junior lienholders.

Found a few potential tenants through the REA who actually helped us find and purchase the place (she was the sellers agent - so we didn't actually need to pay a dime), and after one or two backed out we went with the ones we have in there now that I am very happy with.

It's also my understanding all these states with deed sales has redeemption periods that sounds like you'd better not spend one dime on the property and gotta sit-on-it for 1-3 years.

Don't step over a dollar to save a dime. 

Then they nickel and dime you for WIFI, $6 bottled water, coffee etc.

But I've hit the annoyance factor most reach in their 50s when owning rental properties about 20 years sooner.I am at work coordinating inspections and post inspection, was the appraisal done and could you email it to me, this lender gave me a 3.25% rate while you locked me at 4.0% LOL all of this and I haven't even started receiving a dime of cash flow.Illiquidity is the best feature of passive real estate investing, the 2nd feature being diversification (among asset types, exit strategies, sub-strategies, geography, risk, sponsors, etc.) you cannot do this if you are actively managing rentals.When you are 65-75 years old planning your estate, do you want to leave your heirs (who probably don't know or don't want to know anything about real estate) a bunch of physical houses, tenants, property managers, mortgages, online logins, LLCs, etc.

Flat fee / no nickel and diming / top notch service for both owners and tenants.
