a simple e transfer gets them paid and being that it is a second job for them, their fee should be fairly cheap.If you have about 20k in cash on your own, i would look to secure another investor or solicit friends and family. 

What’s a fair ballpark figure for a real estate attorney to charge for supervising my process of finding a tenant; over looking the section 8 contract and my own lease contract/documentations with the tenant; I’ll be using the online tools for application, credit report / background check and customized lease contract.

Hi all, I'm fairly new to real estate investing and am looking to venture into lease options.

If you continually market to an area with signs, fliers, business cards, and direct mail, it will become essentially saturated with your marketing message and your response rates will soar.There are some drawbacks to farming as well, which are fairly easily overcome.

I don't know how it was done but I know it was fairly common in our market.

i didnt need to address the other issues as wheatie (jon) already did that... lets just say that i am happy here in the midwest paying fair market value for a house....

Great Post Rob,I am fairly young and purchased my first condo at 20 years old.

Don't get me wrong, I have to communicate with my tenants, have my plumber stop by occasionally, but as a whole the property is in great condition and doesn't bring me headaches.I want to purchase another double in the area but be a bit more firm in getting a property for the price that has a better cash flow.....now I just need to find out where to come up with a 20% down payment!!

I am fairly new and want to take as many correct steps as possible.
