Has anyone ever gotten the feeling that maybe their lead paint inspector was drumming up business for his contractor friends, and securing a re-inspection fee for himself?

They always eventually paid and they always paid a late fee.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

I'm not sure it would hurt to refi twice, but I think you'll pay more in fees/closing costs.

I have tried to fight this battle on the West coast and you can for sure landlock a property if  the person owned both properties and failed to give a together with easement when they sold one .the easement by necessity sounds like the play here and then its up to a trier of fact and maybe the other party wont want to spend legal fee's defending. ???

There are always hidden items to repair.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

If you're looking for the cheapest monthly fees and low commission splits, there are plenty of options, but as with anything I suspect you get what you pay for or... what you don't pay for.

At this point, we want to move out the tenant and providing generous move out package - one month hotel stay, one month rent back, hold fee for next apartment etc, but the tenant is not -cooperating and also blackmailing us based on situation.

I know these won't get out of hand but have no clue what impact fees might cost me.
