This is very enticing after seeing what we would roughly owe on the monthly mortgage even if we are conservative and say we will only make $1,000 a month income from the MIL suite (I think we could easily get $1,500).

Each deal you close boosts your credibility, enticing more like-minded investors to your winning team.

Yes, you should add your fee on top but make sure you have a marketing clause in your P&S Agreement with the seller allowing you to promote it.

@Mike Nuss  well that was not the case in the SF Bay Area.But I really Like FIBI in the LA area I have been guest speaker there many times. and they are somewhat more formal than ( keep it weird Portland) but they do a great job.. and the promoters are really super people. and sharp in their craft. 

I would love to introduce myself, without self promoting.  

Easiest way to ripoff an OOS investor is to sell them a Class D rental with a S8 tenant that was enticed with no app fee, no security deposit and really no screening.

Building positive relationships with tenants can increase their retention and reduce turnover, promoting consistent rental income.Consider FHA loans with lower down payment requirements if you're starting with limited capital.

That is a good point about the 1st mortgage being too low to entice the 2nd to negotiate.

Hey @John Cook, Given we are accountants, we cannot promote our services on BP as its against the rules.To help in your search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.
