We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

I've heard Cape Coral in particular is slower than the rest of SWFL, but don't have anything to compare it to right now. 

(Compared to the usual 30-40 year path.) do they think people with a million or millions in stock just got there?

its cheap  compared to what you get I found a strict foreclosure in Oregon that their site was on the only one tracking it and we made over 300k on that one deal. 

Quote from @Tove Fox: What are the pros and cons of each when compared?

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

Obviously I want to keep my costs low but still want to spring for amenities that would give me a competitive edge compared to other rentals.

“ cash flow returns” almost always compare horribly to a simple bank CD after you deduct for insurance, prop taxes< vacancy, capex, prop management (or your personal time.) etc etc etc. 

We do not change fees or terms unless your appraisal happens to come in lower than the purchase price or the market rent comparables come in lower than expected.

We're exploring creative ways to provide him with the cash needed for the down payment while avoiding triggering a taxable event.One strategy we're considering is purchasing his future primary residence ourselves, making the mortgage payments, and then, once we've built enough equity—comparable to the appraised value of his rental properties—transferring the title to him as a form of exchange.What are your thoughts on this approach?
