Several factors could explain why the homeownership rate remains relatively high.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Once you begin to generate leads that fit their recent purchases/want to buy, run the numbers based on the ARV after repair value for after when they develop/fix n flip and subtract cost of build/repair, your assignment fee, and the original cost of the contract.

Depends on so many factors: - What it yields- What you're trying to achieve- What headache factors you're willing or not willing to have - What tax implications come from selling (and if you have to replace your debt in a 1031 exchange)With 1.7-1.9mil that would be a 6-10 unit out here in Reno, NV that with cash could produce probably a 6-7 cap with upsides in rents. 

I also pay a 1,000 finders fee for any unlisted property that someone tells me about that I buy.

While you do pay a fund management fee the diversification provided by the fund more than offsets the minimal cost.

I would argue that the TRIPLEX is less risky solely because of the vacancy factor.  

Condos and townhomes are nice but HOA fees eat into your profit. 

I can't speak for other firms or using software for cost seg, but I'd assume that their fees just like ours are fully deductible as a business expense for professional services.

We are getting ready to hold this debate at our monthly REIA meeting and there are a lot more factors - interest rates, appreciating properties, changing regulatory environment and more.
