I am in talks with a reputable company that signs up proteges in commercial RE, but I am struggling a bit with their terms: the sign-up fee ranges from $10k - $40k, and a definite 50/50 profit split up to $1M mark, meaning the individual gets up to $500k, which could come from cash flow, cashout refi, sale, etc.

The turn-key model works well for me as I am a full time CPA working at a large tech company in the SF Bay Area.

First, contact the water company about the leak.

I did some marketing work with them on HoltonWiseTV a few years ago, pretty legit company.

If this is a long term unfurnished rental then find another property management company with rates you're ok with.

I've never heard of this company before but want to check into it further.

We do everything, gut-job remodels, new construction, and lots of service repairs for property management companies.

It took the company about 15 yrs of being around and building their portfolio before the two principals of the company were able to remove themselves from all personal guarantees and get to purely non-recourse debt with bad boy carveouts.When looking at MF loans, you can often find non-recourse debt on acquisition financing as low as about $1mm loan balance, even with no real experience (granted, you will need an experienced management company lined up and personal financial statements showing a net worth equal to loan balance, but you are not putting your personal financials at risk like many commercial loans).

I’ve heard people getting title companies to do free ones for them.

I'm sure that is true, because most mortgage companies aren't going to go searching for issues when there aren't problems - but in the truest sense of the word this is loan fraud and I'm just not up for it in my portfolio.I did hear from a friend of a friend type that she was able to close a subto with a small local bank somewhere in Georgia (property was also located there) because of a long standing relationship with the bank.
