Purchase loan on primary residence is 50 basis points cheaper than investment loans, down payment can go as low as 0, and the first 500K of sale profit is tax free.

Due to zoning laws it's usually cheaper just to do the flood cert and send in a LOMA to try and get an exemption. 25% of all flood claims typically happen in areas outside of the flood zone.

And it's a lot cheaper not to have to maintain one than to just not put one in in the first place.My husband and I don't have one in our home, and have managed to be quite happy without one.

And fixing three holes at once is cheaper than fixing one hole on three separate visits, but I feel like if a place starts to look beat up the tenant and/or guests aren't going to treat things with as much respect.  

On everything else they tend to be really high on rates.So for my homeowners policy and property insurance I use other providers that are much cheaper.

Much cheaper than new windows.  

Would an inspector do a quick inspection for a cheaper rate rather than charge full freight for a thorough one?

Hi Dinesh    The buildium is cheaper than Rent manager for smaller units and multiple people can use simultaneously. since u have 4 units that should not be a problem.If you need multiple users need to login than you have to pay extra in rentmanager,which can become expensive than buildium.Also Pendo rent  mentioned by Scott weaner seems ok to for what you need.Good luck and happy landlording.

I'd love to do this full time, but know I'll need quite a few properties to get to that point.Also,I'm moving from Baltimore to the Roanoke VA market which is substantially cheaper (thankfully) so deals should be available.So ultimately I'm looking for different opinions.

I'm sure most of the people on here are looking for a cheaper way to buy a fix and flip properties, as was I when I got started purchasing notes almost 4 years ago.
