@Kyle Neff this is usually the same issue on ALL commercial properties that we seek to upgrade. 

Usually this time of the years things slow down and inventory isn't flying off the shelf if you know what I mean, but for two different clients I wrote two offers at asking price close in a week cash offers and they passed them up!?

Term of the lease is usually a paragraph of its own...this is where one might find the "auto renewal" clause and possibly "right of first refusal" clauses but not necessarily...make sure both of these are struck during the negotiation.

Resources like Rentomter and Zestimate are great overall gauges but usually off +-$200, depending on the date they pull. 

Some of the mid size builders have in house sales departments that usually have a licensed agent or broker.

Hey Jad, insurance is usually pretty easy to ballpark.

That's an extra $24,000 a year towards your next investment.I know some investors that have millions in equity but they still choose to rent because it gives them some flexibility and freedom they wouldn't have as home owners.

Landlords mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact same services and operate the exact same way, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services.This also leads them to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

Some new construction has them build out above the detached garage or basement but it only pencils for house-hacking first time buyers (usually). 

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.
