So before I start the attorney fee clock I wanted to get a better expectation of what I need.

Mortgage will be paid off at the closing table.If the mortgage more than the selling price - find a friendly real estate agent and refer the seller for a fee...like finders fee

Even with 65 k as down payment mortgage and taxes and maintenance fees will eat up most of my salary with condo prices at around 400 k for a one bedroom.

You don't need any money to get started in lease options and you can collect a good option fee when you close. 

The recent deals I have looked at locally have most all of the costs for electric and gas installation in a new single-family residential land development deal back-end loaded with impact fees to builders.

My total bill last month was $2800 which put's me on track thus far for over 33k per year not including tax returns.I should disclose that I have another business that keeps me traveling pretty much half the year.Our Real Estate business operation looks like this:Property manager handles tenants and collects rents, he deposits all rents into our accounts and coordinates the rent roll with bookkeeping, they cut him a check for his gross collected rent management fee, bank statements are automatically sent to CPA's office for them to reconcile against business credit card statements, they also handle 95% of day to day financial operations from there to include paying contractors, setting up utilities, paying company bills ,bank deposits etc. for 4 and now 5 entities with the short term rental llc.We have a initial goal of 100 doors so I it's pretty easy to see this cost jumping significanly in the not so distant future.

-The TSP will deduct a $50 fee from the proceeds of each loan issued.

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

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

If I found buyers for a broker can I receive a fee?
