For the exclusive right or option to buy at a certain price for a certain amount of time,  consideration or a fee must be paid called option consideration. 

We always tell folks that are looking for fix and flip money, "You have to buy it right" meaning you better be getting 50% of the ARV if you want to have room for renovations and fees or renovations and ltv for end financing.Your statement that "the buyer should be able to withstand the chaos and take off" is interesting. 

If I pay a one-time fee of $97, I get the contact info of each person currently on that list. 

FYI if you plan use a site like Home Advisor, they charge each contractor a sizable fee (usually 4 companies) to get your info.

Just charge a pet deposit and monthly fee?

The hard money lenders I have contacted are charging almost $5K in fees that are due upfront which is in addition to 10% interest.

I see you're including a 10% PM fee, so I assume you're not planning on being a landlord.

Paying for two closings and holding fee’s essentially is dumb.

You could then manage your parents rental and charge them a fee :).

Property manager I spoke with would have fees of 7.9% and 1/2 first months rent on a new tenant.Is this the perfect time to manage our property or should I leave it to the professionals to save time and headache?
