Kevin, I pay 2k per deal.however, I also require a lot of work for that 2k.I require the bird dog to screen the homeowner(make sure they are motivated)retrieve any paperwork I require and have all doc's signedAll I have to do is work the short sale, I don't mind paying out that much simply b/c its helping me manage my time better.And I only paid for successful closes, sometimes I lose them, so no monies paid out to a bird dog for those

This is a new company called CRS which stands for Courthouse Retrieval System.

The lower the rate, the more expensive the loan... especially when closing a non-owner occupied loan.Please elaborate what fees are included in the $5,000 and what rate you are retrieving from Wells and maybe I can shed some light on this for you.Thanks,

This case sounds difficult but may be retrievable.

Retrieve the NOI and divide it by the cap rate for that market.

The only personal things I have in one of my STRs is a picture of my Labrador retriever. 

If tenant still have personal belongings in the property they have an additional 24 hours to contact owner/property manager to retrieve items , after 24 hours all items must go on the curb.You can screen a tenant from here to the end of time, if tenant falls on hard times/life events there is nothing you can do to prevent it, just be on top with your paperwork/documentation so you don't lose too much time or money.

The last thing you want to do is let the daughter in to retrieve some things, then get sued later on by some other relative because your tenant's will left that person some valuable heirlooms that have "mysteriously vanished" since the daughter was there. 

Pick one and ask the clerk how to to review or "preview" the actual case file.Once retrieved, you'll see a pattern to how documents are filed, usually oldest on the bottom.

.* If there is anything over $300 in value, store it and post notice to all to contact you or your representative for retrieval of personal items.Last but not least, have a glass of champagne and get a good nights rest cuz tomorrow you are an investor and potential landlord!
