In 2008 properties were a dime a dozen, and now the market is just the opposite in most areas.  

My thing about the extra-people charge is I don't like the nickel-and-diming of it all.  

The city started trying to nickel and dime us on every little thing possible on the property.

Don't rule out getting a job and getting paid to learn on someone else's dime!!!

I also would rather establish a good working relationship with my tenants with an emphasis on communication rather than try to nickel and dime them for every fee I could justify charging them.

ZE has almost a 60 P/E and RDFN doesn't make a dime...

They are not lending you a dime, big difference!

Rather than hearing second hand through the owner, which he'll most likely not send me all the info either...I can tell which of my clients are REAL investors looking to maximize, because they're not going to worry about nickel and diming each repair and waste time arguing with the Jones' about overgrown bushes..... they spend their time on big decisions and big money.....

They are a dime a dozen (unless you can find a really good one).

I'll say this till I"m blue in the face...never step over a dollar to save a dime.
