Not sure her “design” fee or what was spent on travel. 

With IoT monitoring everything I could have theoretically been charged a late check out fee.

For that SMALL landlord, turnover/vacancy is VERY expensive because it takes them longer to prep and fill the vacancy and they are also paying the PM a fee for tenant placement whereas the large landlord is using their staff who is being paid whether they handle a turnover or not.

I will happily foot the bill for supplies so they aren't out any money out of pocket, but with the prevalence of contractor-stole-my-money stories, it makes it hard to fork over an upfront fee.

I am curious what is a market correct "finders fee" for bringing the company deals we are able to close?

Perhaps in return they collect an acquisition fee,  collect a construction management fee & share in a portion of the upside.

I don't love the idea of having prepayment fees and a mortgage on my free and clear property but if I do a combination of things I would be able to make an above garage apartment at house 3 for 15k-20k that rents out for $1100-$1300.

With fees doubling and competition heating up, you might want to rethink this investment.

A lot of folks that work this are simply brokers and will make a fee for putting you together with Kiavi or lima one..

You could buy about 80 of them, but your cash flow would still end up at 16k which is about what you are making now (actual it would be zero once you account for property management fees).
