That just means you will use the listing agent as your agent and still pay a fee unless they have no fee on the buyer side.2.

Is it worth paying the fees for each stay and getting a long term renter or is it better to keep the reservations? 

Add property management fees of $150 and maintenance/repairs at $100.With expenses totaling $1100 monthly, the net income would be $400 per month, or $4800 annually.

That's not cashflow, that's raising investor capital to return investor capital and charging a fee in between.2) Claiming a low basis of $132k/unit while loading the deal with so many fees and reserves needed to make it not an immediate foreclosure, that the all-in basis is actually $193,952.

just be cautious when it comes to using these. ensure you've got a plan to pay that balance back in a relatively quick fashion as most HELOC rates can fluctuate which could make the numbers suddenly not work. i've leveraged mine in instances where i'm doing a BRRR and i want the deposit for a private money loan. i'm not using it as my downpayment and leaving it out there for a long period of time. 

And, don't forget on WS there is a fee removed from that dividend so one giving say 7% dividend rate may take 1.2% of that, making what one actually get's <6%. 

Both charge a fee for tenant screening but only if there is a problem would the owners call me to help get it fixed, they also accept the rent payments directly from tenant. 

I'd recommend researching areas to see that they have:- Low unemployment- High demand for housing - relatively low inventory- local job creation/booming local economy- high avg/median income- increasing population- low average days-on-market (DOM)- history of rent and property value increases YOY- low crime- highly-rated schools (or above average)I'd compare the target neighborhood to surrounding neighborhoods and/or nearest metro areas. 

Depending on the codes you may have to install tie downs (that might be included in your set up fee from the mover). 

They're doing well enough to give up 20%-30% of gross and all of the cleaning fees?
