It would be like charging you for a full remodel property rather than a hovel, because its highest and best use would be a swanky modern house despite never having upgraded it.Ask 2 / Costs & Risk Involved: I need to calculate the impact of what a lot split would entail.

True off market deals are ones that you find yourself, direct from the seller without a wholesaler or any other middle person involved.

But I believe that if you're not violating any terms, not in a restricted industry or involved with anything deemed risky by Stripe then you're probably safe.It appears their move to Stripe is for accelerated payment processing, which is interesting since they acquired eRentPayment and Payment Report.On surface level it might be they're adding Stripe as an option on top of their existing infrastructure.

Self-managing can be a great way to stay directly involved, but it’s also important to consider the demands it can place on your time, resources, and expertise.I'm certain, you have experienced some real frustrations with that PM company, but a strong property management company that can align with your overall needs, can sometimes be a priceless investment when it comes to staying compliant.
