I continue to get emails from Steve Mayer of Finance holding Company, but he keeps wanting me to pay a deposit + his 2% origination fee upfront...seems like a scam and wanted to see if anyone has done business with them in the past

A huge shoutout to our special sponsor, NOVIQ, for making the evening extra special!

Between the late notice and the eviction notice I am receiving calls and texts from tenants who can not pay or I am contacting them.

He is paying a rate higher than a bank but lower than hard money and he can refinance after his equity has increased.

This looks like many things but here are some idea starters for you:- Ensuring that payments are automated for receiving rent, paying mortgage, paying utilities- Ensuring the lease version used is up to date & calendar notifications are on for renewal periods- Tenant screening process is defined and followed- Turnover process is clear and team is in place- etcIf you need a CPA suggestion, I love Samantha Kelley.

That said, I also pay an annual "seat" license to my PM in addition to the 10% of gross rents.
