Tenant skipped out in the middle of the night and owes rent, fees, damages etc...How would you post the item in their credit report?  

So I imagine the benefits of the cost seg have to be weighed against the legal and professional fees to get it done. 

Here's what auction.com said about the transaction details: "Buyer will not be charged a Buyer's Premium for this property.If you are the Winning Bidder, an Earnest Money Deposit of 5% of the total purchase price or $2,500 (whichever is greater) is required.Buyer may receive a Special Warranty Deed or equivalent if Buyer is able to purchase title insurance without delaying the closing (title fees typically cost between $500 and $1500 and are based on the purchase price of the property).

I wasn't expecting a fee to join.  1500.00.

To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

We have another one in a luxury beach community that does nominally well, but I really blame the regime/community fees more than the strategy.

But more frequently those who appear to scale portfolios quickly are either lying as Chris correctly stated or are highly leveraged and/or are fee developers who own minimal ownership interest and are backed by LP equity.You also shared your objective of holding your assets for a long period time.

Keeping the PM in-house through your turnkey provider is the safest option moving forward IMO.At the end of the day, they have your best interests at heart and want to do their best to deliver in real life the returns promised to you on paper.The grass isn't never greener on the other side and for another PM company you will just be a number and they will look at margin and making as much profit is as possible from each client.In-house PM through your trusted turnkey property is offers a different approach and in many instances comes with a reduction in misc fee's and costs.Just my opinion and wishing you much success

Many of them charge an additional fee over 10 feet, and some are scammers just looking to get in your house and try to tell you that you need a whole bunch of other services (that they can provide for an additional fee).  

My question is, if I make a purchase using myself as a broker, is it possible to receive a credit from the seller when acting as my own agent instead of receiving a brokerage fee?
