I would also give her x amount of days to move but let her know you will have to charge a prorated fee per day after that to move for occupying both units. 

Despite paying fees, doing a deal and making some profit is better than sitting on the sidelines. 

I can mark it up with a fee or by increasing the rate (or both, but I never do).

If I could start finding off market deals myself I think it could work, usually the assignment fee from wholesalers is the difference between pulling all your money out and not.   

@Deirdre Lizio see a lot of competiting PMCs start with a pledge of doing it better than "what's out there".Always interesting to revisit them 3-5 years later - after they've experienced the reality of challenging tenants AND owners.Look no further than Evernest: they started out with flat fee management at $99/month and promises of better & fairer service & pricing.Now they're at 10%, capped at $199/month - wonder what changed?

If you're new to investing, keeping an eye on property taxes and HOA fees in this area is also key. 

Are most of those gurus just selling courses/cutting a fee on top of an agent?

It wasn’t a massive deal—our expected assignment fee was $10,000—but when you’re growing a business, every opportunity matters.Everything seemed to be moving smoothly until the title search revealed a major roadblock: the mortgage discharge couldn’t be cleared because the person who needed to sign off was deceased.

I can probably teach it, but I won't be spending that kind of money for the platform and I doubt people who wants to learn are willing to pay for the platform and tutoring fees. 

You can put your license in referral at most brokerages and pay no fees and still be able to do referral business.
