You can file paperwork yourself or as others have stated, hire an attorney.Typically, you'll want to have a notarized affidavit filed or writ of possession issued and signed by a judge.This can vary from jurisdictions so if you are unfamiliar with how to move forward it may be best to consult legal counsel.Legal counsel will typically cost in the low thousands after filing fees, processing fees, attorney fees, court costs, etc.

Though fee schedules vary by company, generally speaking, you'll pay more up front for checkbook control and less over time, since the full custodial companies will have transaction fees not to mention the red tape of going through the custodian for all transactions. 

Development projects can vary from a 1-lot Single Family home to 20-acre subdivision, to a 4-acre commercial site, etc. 

In the end, it’s usually more profitable than relying on a home warranty.

Quote from @Victoria Hogan: @Rick Albert here's the link to the posting our PM put on zillow: https://www.zillow.com/homes/4072-W-Song-Bird-Pl-Fayettevill...There's not a ton of competition in this specific neighborhood and what is looks to be mostly all priced higher than ours with varying times on the market. 

Those I know in this deal are elderly, unsophisticated with trust deed investing, and relied upon Capella’s supposed due diligence.

On the sale side of the equation I rely on 3rd party sales agents for my housing geared towards owner occupants.

Every client's pain point will vary, a good sales person will find their pain points and you can tell them why you are better than evolve. 

I think prices vary depending on location but I pay about $10 mo.

I am a fan of utilizing equity in existing real estate owned to build the rental portfolio though at the beginning, rather than just relying on money saved alone.
