Then why am I paying you a 'lawyer's' fee? 

Current Tenant pays $2200 rent which seems like it's about $300 under current market rate. 

They are worth more, you attract better tenants who pay more rent and treat the properties better.We replace 3 or 4 driveways every year.

We’ll also collect rent and pay expenses via our LLC and its new respective bank account(s).  

Some investors think I am crazy doing that and perhaps so, but I take other people's money seriously and even when the crap hits the fan (and it will if you do enough deals for a long enough period of time), paying back your lender is priority one in my book.Most of my deals for private money also include a balloon payment rather than monthly payments.

Plus with HELOC's you can only pull what you actually need and pay it down/pull the cash out as you need it.

I pay for the lawn care, pest control, Surevestor, actually replace the air filters, and that's the only fee an owner ever pays. 

We dont have any section 8 houses in Beachwood but in Shaker we have seen closer to 1650 (owner pays water and sewer). 

The residents do not cause problems, they are generally on social security so if you give them a 5% discount they will pay their rent a year in advance, and they will host fundraisers to improve "their" clubhouse.

I'm definitely open to revisiting meetups, but I almost feel I'd be better off attending a meetup where you have to pay so I can interact with more serious investors.
