I paid for a lifetime membership and then still got charged. 

I paid the first $5K but started having second thoughts because of high vacancy rates in the area.

A year ago I recently purchased my first multi family to house hack and I rant into a issue when the seller paid for a electrical upgrade to the home.

I did a "blind" assessment where I paid/reimbursed a close family friend to go in as a guest because there were a lot of details I wasn't privy to- and wanted to understand (the whole experience and process from the guest perspective from the initial inquiry, emails, etc.).They shared the email communications (some of which was glitchy or not quite as good as what I'd expect, or told me of delays in receiving responses).

As they are getting paid to provide a service.

I wasn’t prepared to lose so much of my savings as carrying cost basically I paid for the tenants to live there for 3 months + my own living expenses in that time.

The least states:"Tenant shall pay a "late charge" not in excess of five (5%) percent of the amount in arrears for each month the arrears remain unpaid if any Rent is paid more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof, to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments.

Quote from @Landon Whitt: Is anyone seeing a sizable increase in pre-foreclosures in their market yet?

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

@Jaycee Greene I see so at least until he’s paid back the down payment I’d get let’s say 25% and once he recoups that money we go 50/50?
