But if you're trying to get an exclusive deal, the reality is that you probably have less bargaining power because if they want $296.10/sq ft they know they can put it on the MLS and see if they get any bites.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

The issues really happen when it's just R.E. agents begging for some $, pitching "I can do that too" and in reality there in breach of NAR codes because they don't have proficiency and expertise in it what so ever.

Quote from @Calvin Thomas: Quote from @James Hamling: Ok, to those who think % base assures a PMc will "make sure property is leased" you are wrong, and I will explain why and the reality of what it does. 

The equity market is a fine comparison, but the reality is if you think every 5 years you're net return will be 90%(not sure if this is pre or post tax) then you can choose that route but you have to mark it to that return annually which is a reach.

In all reality, if you apply your screening criteria equally, and treat people with the respect and dignity they deserve (no matter where your rent money comes from), it's not an issue. 

But just think of the reality first you have to find someone who will sell you a sub to  NOT EASY and then you have to find someone who will buy it owner contract Easier..

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

Hello @Yooni Choi,While managing an out-of-state rental property yourself might seem like a money-saving strategy, the reality is much more complex.

Also, most banks will not allow you to "borrow" your down payment, so what you would need to do is get the 50K personal loan and then have it show on your bank statements for two months (without showing the money being deposited, so in reality this could be 3 statements before you have that.
