If i write reports with no pics I'm willing to do them for 50% discount($180 each).

Hi Bea,HomeAway has stated that the average management fee is 24%, but that isn't necessarily the average effective rate after additional fees.

When they renew, I do not charge anything additional.

Keep the insurance in the homeowners name (you become an additional insured), get a durable power of attorney from the homeowner, and make the payments on time!  

I'm nowhere near close to cashing out and retiring, so I am actually hopeful for a market correction because all of my current assets will still produce, and my future purchases will be made at a discount.

If you do sell within the next three years, you'll probably come out even, as you added the additional loan costs to the principal you need to pay down and your house will may be underwater (assuming you bought at market and there isn't crazy appreciation where you bought your house). 

Then when you go to resell and pay additional costs you are taking a loss.

My question is should I have payed the $72,000 and but additional $15,000 in to the duplex and see if it cf at $87,000.

I spell it out in my leases, such as the below: Additional appliances included at Property include: __refrigerator_____________________.

The seller disclosed the long term leases on two of the units, but only provided the expired, 2 year old lease and the rental increase notices for the other two  and did not produce the additional long term leases that tenants shared with me.I'm in a bind here, I can't break the leases and can't stay in compliance with the loan terms.I've already reached out to my agent, who is fortunately a commercial brokerage with an attorney on staff, but have not heard back.
