Has anyone experienced a decrease in valuation or sales prices due to a property having annual HOA fees?

2) I have been reading that Athens shows around 7% appreciation per year, Is this correct ? 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

That just means you will use the listing agent as your agent and still pay a fee unless they have no fee on the buyer side.2.

To make a long story short, I am referring a subdivision project to my DB for a referral fee.

Any fees for that?

self-managing one STR from afar is super easy. with the proper systems and automation it should not take up more than 2h of your time per week, and that's with you never going there. i don't think it's wise to do turnovers/cleans yourself even if you're trying to save money, because you're not a professional cleaner (i'm assuming) so guaranteed you wouldn't do it quite as well as a professional + would run into issues accordingly. 

I can even charge a $45 pet fee and add it to the cleaning bill.

So why would someone want to buy it from you for more than they could have bought it directly and pay you a fee?

I have come across multiple properties - typically houses that require rehab - where the seller is not the owner of the property but what I believe to be a wholesaler or investor who has been assigned the rights of the property to sell to an end buyer (me) for a (substantial) fee.
