I really anticipate to see the detailed response from Michael once he has time.

See the image below.On the left are a tenant segment's housing requirements.

I asked to see the contract I’m buying.

I've started presenting offers to sellers showing them the net of the offer minus credits/concessions so they can see the full picture, and not just focus on a percentage point.

Chris Voss calls it the Accusation Audit, where you start out by listing all the problems and costs, and then ask how can we get this done.Every deal and seller are unique, and the goal is to find out their motivation and how you can solve it, quickly.I would definitely re engage the broker in the week to come to see the activity on the deal, and if it has tradedGino

If an renter is crafty or the landlord is gullible, I could see the landlord agreeing to pay them.

You can use the website affordablehousing.com to see the estimated rent for that type of property and location, but it is just a rough estimate. 

I can only see the benefit of forming a self performing property management company if you believe you can be more effective on cost and service than the local 3rd property operators and even cost can be tricky to calculate because most focus on the management fee that's charged rather than the cost to put out fires when they do arise.

I got the same rate that I would get on any direct booking since they could see the listed price online.

I will send you the update over message if you do not see the announcement!
