This is what is pushing up rental demand for small MF properties that having lower rents, fees, or total move in costs compared to other larger commercial apartment complexes.

With all of our maintenance fees, property management fees, ext. we only brought home one check for around $800 last year.  

We too had a contract for a SFR in Ocala and are now out our deposit as well as attorney fees.

@Erica ArceCould you have a written agreement directly with the wholesaler that outlines your fee for bringing a buyer to their deal?

LLCs require additional filing fees and tax returns and just complicate things.

If the rate is reasonable then it may make sense to try to save fast to get to the 3.5% down payment on a double or triple - househacking may allow you to increase your savings rate and pay down that loan even faster.As for estimating costs, closing in NY factor at least 1% of the mortgage amount for tax, plus $1500-2000 for lawyer, title and fees, then the amount required by the bank for escrow will depend on the actual property taxes and insurance.

You can always charge an air and surface scrubbing fee from their security deposit after they've moved out. 

Ok to summarize it seems that there is Zero way to dodge CA annual fee.

But I have the tenant pay the broker fee & in my lease I ask them within 90 days if they want to stay for another year and give them 15 days to respond so I have 75 days to rent out the property to avoid vacancy.4.

I agree , one I started to see the support and advice that is available for us on BP I immediately tried to cancel the course subscription to no avail.
