Yours would likely attract large families while the neighbors would be small families, singles, or couples with no kids.It doesn't sound attractive to me but everything is a good investment if the price is right!

They charge me a flat 6% of the gross collected rent with no additional fees such as what you've listed in your post; with the exception that I reimburse them for advertising when there's a vacancy.That sounds great!

It sounds like even a private lender (unless it's like your rich grandma or something) would probably balk at lending to someone with your personal credit profile.

Sounds like Darwinism at its finest though..

Engage in intellectual discussions regarding it.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

 I have a potential tenant who sounds really good overall.

Ok I'll go take a look at your previous posts that sounds very helpful!

I like the way that sounds better. 

@Brian Dudash sounds like a great plan!
