If you buy a house to rent out you will inevitably need a slush fund to pay for the unexpected hot water heater failure, etc.Once you get a few wholesale deals under your belt you will understand the market better, have met a number of other investors(check out your local REIA to meet them) you can learn from, and better understand alternative methods of investing to move forward.Keep asking questions and reading posts on BP and you'll have a wealthe of knowledge.

I hired an attorney, he could not guarantee to recoup the money back and he keeps charging for phone calls made, fee here and there.

I charge $1.99 per square foot for labor which includes demo, install of pad, and install of flooring

Want to find a brokerage that doesn't charge much even if my commissions are less.

What he does is include utilities in the rent he charges, and has all the utility bills under his name and sent to a P.O.

I charge $200-$250 per $10,000 or simply a flat agreed price for the day.

Most appraiser's can pull something together like this without visiting the property and will charge only $50 to $100 vs. an appraisal at $300+.

the cleaning you can charge back to renters, that is what is done around here.Good luck.

@Ryan Steele, Thanks for the welcome and information and as for the upcoming meeting, is there a charge for attending?

(I spent $4,000 in repairs on my rental last year for an unexpected repair....it just happens and you need extra $ for that kind of stuff!)
