Clients who don't want to sign contracts and want to be completely hands-off during the process probably won't want to hire you in this role; but many clients are happy to be more hands-on in return for paying you less (though I guess you could charge just as much as a regular GC if you're really good at convincing clients to pay that) to basically be just a consultant.

I think it’s ridiculous to charge what some of these guys charge.I agree that you should get out there sooner rather than later.

He does not charge late fees on rent although he claims they all generally pay on time.

Further, the "Mom" dog sometimes would run into my yard and charge at my renter.

I think if you are investing in real estate, you can still be looking for a quick buck, but you understand things can take some time to develop. compound interest is very powerful and if you are not in it for the long term, you will likely not be too impressedPeople are too emotional and probably log into thier stock market account too often and play off of those emotions. i am no different, but my stock market preference is dollar cost average for the long term. i do this through index funds and mostly retirement accounts. the stock market is at all time highs and while it had a huge crash, most people got scared away. as the stock market returned, people statring talking more about it. as warren buffet says and this goes for any investment. people want to buy clothes, cars, ect.

I mean small stuff like looking out across the driveway and not feeling awkward when you see the tenant that is unhappy about the late fee you charged him the day before.

I'm not sure what other property managers do /say they'll charge however my firm will be taking 10% and first months rent some people like it some don't - you get what you pay for, and of course you can handle it yourself.

There is a ton of info here on bp alone and through a local investment club you might be able to find a local mentor that won't charge you.

And what would you charge them?

Will they try to charge me a higher interest rate because they might think it's a rental?
