I literally signed a contract, drove to my wholesaler friend and he gave me a 60K assignment fee and closed on them 3 days later.So don't let people tell you it's hard because it isn't.

Every payment grandma gets, as well as fees and PMI, is tacked onto the mortgage balance.

(I'm in Arizona so your results may vary) Compensation can only be paid to a licensed broker so you can't pay "finder fees" to unlicensed bird dogs or wholesalers.

You could go with a commercial lender, but you'd most likely be looking at higher rates and fees, and shorter terms.

Obviously you would have to subtract the loan fees, but that's how it works and one of the best things about holding real estate long term.

(Because at a point the fees would just be too high. $10k+ per month... even $20k+per month.)

If the owner - the one who is paying their PM fee - can't get a hold of them, how difficult do you think it's going to be for your tenants to get in touch with them?  

She's not a big fan.Needs to be able to generate monthly statements and annual statements for property owners showing rent revenue, managements fees taken out, and other expenses. 

By trying to make the original sale price as low as possible and the assignment fee as high as possible you are not an agent of either party.That said if it appears you are claiming to sell the property and not the contractual rights to purchase the property it might be deemed that you are acting as an unlicensed real estate agent. 

also what 30 yr fixed  rate are you considering and what are the closing costs/ loan fees  associated  with the refinance …..you might ask  for  " low cost "  rate options for the refinance  in order to keep these expenses down …...if you refinance the loan to a new  30 yr fixed in order to make it cash flow better - always keep in mind that you can  apply extra payments to the new loan to  whittle the balance down
