This is the first time I have been in charge.

Its very affordable (like $1.25) and most of the time I can look up what I need (owners names) without performing a full search @ no charge.

Sure if the mortgage company is not indicted on federal charges and its owner sent to prison for 11 years.

James I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth.I had very tough times where things were lean growing up.It builds character and makes you remember where you came from.Having said that you can't let emotions make business decisions for you.This woman has allowed her kids to invade her life and mooch off of her.She has ultimately made that decision.I can see where that high payment without assistance is strapping her.I can't tell you the number of kids who are draining their parents dry and using them.It makes me sick to think of these types taking advantage.I am not talking about a temporary blip where someone is down on there luck but a continous pattern of doing the minimal only and getting the rest from the parents.I have tons of tenants with my apartments and I hear it all.When you have apartments they all talk.If you are soft with one they will take advantage.If you are hard with all they will leave because they can't manipulate and the other ones will pay on time knowing they will be gone if they don't.

I generally charge less than a good GC would charge, so it's a lot cheaper for the investor I'm working with to just pay me a flat fee, as opposed to an equity split or percentage.

This way you can avoid most of the 3% listing fee that you would otherwise be paying.For example, my brokerage charges $60/month and then $300 per transaction.

Actually, I said the opposite way... if you're getting $3,000 a month out of a $135k property, that sounds very good (at a 50,000 foot level)... where I said you were getting fleeced was putting $100k down on a $135k property and getting charged 11% on the $35k note.I'm still not sure I understand your financing situation.Hard money on a buy and hold property tends to make cash flow pretty tough due to the higher interest rates.

If you file to evict and then tenant does not answer to the court you can get the writ to evict but not a judgement.In that case you have to take them to small claims court and win to get a judgement.Now if you already have the judgement against them you have a few options.You can file the paperwork yourself for bank levy or wage garnishment.Or You can use an attorney that charges hundreds per hour.

They were the very first app so I didn't charge just because I already knew the answer based on the dogs, but I still wanted to go through the process for practice.The next applicant had golden 5 year rental history, although only 6 months (verified) at current employer.

Also does anyone know what is a fair amount to charge percentage wise.
