I'm a senior at UW-Madison working on starting up the last research paper I will probably ever write.

The ultimate goal in determining whether the provider's account fees meet your needs should be the value provided, not just in fees you'll incur, but also including intangible factors such as highly experienced professionals and responsiveness to client needs.Funding Time Frame - I would argue that this is the most important factor, as moving quickly is the nature of the real estate investment community. 

I was a salaried professional with as many as 16 rentals and I did a lot of my own work.

Because a PROFESSIONAL TENANT such as the one in this thread has figured out how to take advantage of landlords who do not perform  the due diligence needed to identify a professional tenant and the result is another landlord singing the blues about being victimized by this sort of tenant.Christy Miller here is learning this lesson the hard - and expensive - way.

@Jason DiClemente, wouldn't you get that same information from leases and a professional inspection?
