The seller needs moving money, there are oftentimes an arrears that has to be paid on the loan, there are oftentimes HOA fees that are due, there are title costs, there are escrow costs, usually there is deferred maintenance, you have to make mortgage payments out of pocket until you get a renter in there, you have to pay utilities and taxes, and you need reserves in case it all doesn't go as planned.3.

Please consider factors like price, location, product variety, customer service, and brand loyalty.

I've kept my rents the same and simply charge a short-term fee.

If an HML covers 100% of the acquisition and rehab, you'll get nailed with high fees and interest.

While going the FSBO route saves on commission fees, it's essential to weigh these challenges against your ability to manage them effectively.Cheers,KC 

REI helped with some management fee concessions to make this property cash flow for the first 18-24 months.

Tenant skipped out in the middle of the night and owes rent, fees, damages etc...How would you post the item in their credit report?  

These factors make it an attractive option for your investment criteria, balancing cash flow and appreciation prospects in a stable economic environment.

Things such as; toilet paper, drinking water, pet supplies, linens and hot tub chemicals and cleanings that we didn't initially factor into our Pro Forma's..The costs of these are real, but even realer are the stocking, cleaning and preparing a space for visitors in a few hours between check ins.

The cashflow was not as high as they advertised and they do take a $5,000 fee.
