Would it make sense to pay a monthly fee even if they don’t have to go by the units or just drop by fees.Cheers!

I used US Bank's business checking and it has no fee as long as the balance is higher than the min (~$150).

It will come at a cost of fees and some time though.Now umbrella insurance and liability insurance on the property is definitely an obtain and increasing the policy increases your protection but one thing that is always unknown is how much a claim will be. 

When evaluating cap rates I'm taking out taxes, insurance, 8% vacancy, 10% repairs, 8% cap ex, and 10% property management fees; however, if I lower all of those percentages then my cap rate is higher - is everyone using lower percentages and that's how they're finding cap rates of 10%, or am I truly looking at a lot of overpriced MLS properties?

Hi all,What do you think about this:If you had a $300k mortgage that you had to port or else you would pay a hefty fee of $17,000, would you be better off paying the fee and getting new mortgages at lower interest in smaller deals on your own, or would it be better to JV with someone who will not put money in on a five year deal but take care of the management role and split revenue?

From there, you just have to go through the permit process and pay the fee.

It's actually the land of the "fee" :)  Jokes aside you can often get away with things like that even if they're not permitted provided you don't put noses out of joint (with neighbors/tenants etc).

He also agreed to give me any value add minus his $10,000 fee.

The annual membership fee is very reasonable considering you get a free dinner once a year during the summer.
