There is an indoor fireplace and we are debating a gas firepit outside.  

The properties we toured were very old and in different stages of rehab, but I wasn’t particularly impressed by the rehab work, the contractors smoking indoors, or some of the uneven floors that they just decided to throw carpet over, hoping no one would notice.  

If you go out and find deals outside their system then there is no benefit for them to give you a lower rate on the monthly mgmt fee as property management is not glamorous and most will tell you its hard to make real money doing it as they rely on the profit from the sale and less profit if hardly any on the managing of the home.You can buy from outside the turnkey provider but when things go wrong ( and they always do ) you will find out that full service companies are not as caring as they would if it was their home they sold you.

The issue with the rule is that it should be treated as a starting point not the end-all-be-all decision maker.  

If you know the value of it all fixed up, a reasonable cost of how much it will cost to repair, a value of taxes, realtor fees, Hoa fees etc you can make real informed deals.

My preference is to work with decision makers directly, face-face over the kitchen table.

When you do wholesale flips, if you make two offers, one for cash and one for a little more with seller financing, then you can wrap that underlying loan to your buyer.You’ll have more buyers and make a lot more money.This is creative financing on the buy and sell side. if you need more cash flow but the seller does not need cash flow or it could even hurt their tax situation, then you could make really low interest only payments with a final principal payment due in 10 to 15 years.

So, the company will pay tax on dividends AND the employee will pay tax on those, too, though at the lower dividend rates.If our widget maker used some of the income to buy new tools, that would be deductible.
