hey guys, I've been talking to a potential PM for my townhouse and he sent me his PM agreement for review.There are a few things in the agreement I didn't like, but I'm not sure if these are common practice or true RED flags.Would love to hear your thoughts...

If you are organized enough to forsee hang ups and talk with your GC about potential challenges on a regular basis, two brains are better than one.

Hi Kris,It sounds like you’ve got a great property under contract with a solid entry price, and the only challenge is the interest rate of 7.125%.

If that were true, then an investor putting 20% down would snatch it up. 2.

I do not recommend someone who has never owned real estate to do a fix and flip as real estate is challenging and cost prohibitive, I recommend if never owning real estate to start with an asset that does not need major repairs. 

I've stuck with the tried and true reasons I've heard to keep my search ranking high (quality photos, stellar reviews, updates to my listing) and that helps but in slow season, when I'm not willing to cut my rates as much as some of my competitors, it can be a ghost town.  

Were there any unexpected challenges when working with Plastiq or Fund & Grow that I should prepare for?

Challenges?

What is required to obtain real estate investing independence is the following1 - TRUE education in real estate (1) principles, (2) law, (3) finance.

While that may sometime be true, full disclosure to all parties should eliminate any ethical or moral concerns (imo).
