Same for bookkeeping.The prices are very reasonable - provided you DO use these services.If they only offer the packaged deal, and you do not use the services packaged - then it's a mismatch.

We have implemented a unique tenant upgrade package for the existing tenants that have already increased the average rental income substantially.

So to negate my risks, I got my short term license made sure it all legal, got a little extra insurance policy, any of furniture and decorations I bought I'm sure I can sell if need, and I'm currently looking at different software packages/ platforms that I can host the property on the various channels (VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, etc) to get a more exposure.

On the other end of the spectrum, if you are looking for higher quality data and you can wait anywhere from 12-36 hours than there are a number of companies out there and at that point, you might just be looking for the best price/package.

I always prepare a package with comps in the area to give to the appraiser, and make sure to be there.

Analysis is a total package not simply cherry picked numbers.

Longer term, we'd like to eventually acquire more apartments and then include these 18 as part of an overall management package, but for now self-managing is working.

That is, even at the confiscatory rates most HML’s charge (and we’re lenders) financially you’re almost always better off borrowing the money.Realistically, once you decide your involvement with one another, your partner or lender must hire an attorney to protect his interests and create what is likely a very standard loan package in this case, or a partnership agreement.And to add; though I like your term, “personal hard money lender,” and will add it to my list, legally there is no difference between a private money lender, hard money lender, asset-based lender, bridge lender, or any of the other made-up names you hear.

I see people complain quite a bit and then others point out that Google says not to run your business from it.There are tons of products out there, some packaged, some not.
