They will think you are running a tenant screening/tenant application fee collection scam. 

The highest and best meets the first Mon of every month near Ivanhoe, they post about it on IG @highestandbest (it's labeled as a clothing brand for some reason but the events are solid and free)We've bought 150+ units of Multifamily and still own and operate 51 units, we also manage for other owners in Orlando, FL and Jacksonville, FL so if I can be of help feel free to reach out

The reason is for that amount, that's all the attorneys would do on a contingency basis, and they only charged a fee if they collect on a lawsuit, The customer then asked if I would pay him a few dollars instead.

I am new to RE investing, and hoping to tap the collective power of this awesome group in starting my RE journey.

I pay 4000 a year in taxes for a brand new single family home I can only collect 1100 a month on....4 months of rent to just cover property taxes,  insurance is another 4000k.... that's 8 months gone.  

They collect a month of rent and then walk away, whereas a property manager has to deal with that tenant for the next year.

This of course, would need to be defined in their lease agreements and would also require more work collecting those payments.

There are other free services out there as well.If you only have a couple units and that is all you want and you never plan to hand off property management then you can probably just collect checks and have tenants text you.Personally I don’t like tenants texting me issues, they are too easily missed or forgotten about.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Goals - looking to expand/grow and move out to the next hack or hunker down and collect cash flow?
