How much in general do property managers charge for STR?

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.

My goal is to buy the properties with conventional financing, repair them to a rent ready condition if necessary, and hire a property manager to rent them out.

Can I reduce closing costs as a buyer if I use seller financing in lieu of conventional financing?

@Bryan Tilos 30  & 20 years fix is available under conventional loan.

The tenant forfeits all claims for the return of the security deposit under section 504B.178 and is relieved of any other contractual obligation for payment of rent or any other charges for the remaining term of the lease, except as provided in this section.

Some REIA meetings might also have food if hosted out of a restaurant space.You can find some free ones with Meetup.com, but they aren't completely free because Meetup charges the host of the Meetup group monthly fees.

CPAs don't charge that much to file taxes.

What is the charge for them to look over a deal usually?

The project involves taking apart approximately 300 feet of line and redoing the connections and recharging the systems. 2K to have it charged is absurd.
