After hitting cap it's a $250 transaction fee. it isn't free, but very reasonable and on the cutting edge of tech in the industry.

I have used virtual assistants in another industry.

I’ve tried doing this for other businesses before such as flipping cars, and a photography/videography business I started mainly in the real estate industry.

our average age of our client was 70 to 75 had owned the timber for one to 3 generations. and would just sit there and live in the old home they had lived in for years and drive the beat up pick up.all the while sitting one 1 to 5 million worth of timber.. but one thing was certain once the kids got it.. the chain saws were fired up in short order as @Joe Splitrock indicated.. 

Hi All, here's a potential deal I would love some opinions on considering a fundamental decision must be made for it to be viable.Triplex currently listed at $127kDown Payment: $31,750Gross Monthly Rent: $1,500 (500 each)Estimated Expenses:Mortgage: $500Property Tax: $80Property Management: (10%) $150Water + Trash: $150Repairs (5%) $75Capital Expense (10%) $150Vacancy (5%) $75Total: $1,180 MonthlyCash on Cash return: $3,840 (About 12% return on investment)Property was built in the 1930's and states "could be rented for higher with work/repairs" Average comp rents seem to be around $600-700If I could rent each unit for $600, updated ROI could be up to around 20%... 

Maybe laziness is a poor choice of words, the industry is more of a marketing game than a true service business.

., according to Zillow.Another research firm, SmartAsset, recently figured the average monthly rent payment in Memphis to be $769.While more than half of Memphians now rent housing, that figure is still well below the more than 60 percent who rent in Miami, New York, Los Angeles and in the San Francisco Bay area.Of the top 50 metros, 29 were comprised of majority renters (more than 50 percent) in 2016, up from 16 cities in 2006."

You can find the same in any industry or field where any proposal for change is met with a bureaucratic system to determine the absolute best way to do it.

The metro area as a whole however has gone up 7.4%, but that is a mix of neighborhoods that have done very well and not at all, the average comes down to 7.4%.$1000 rent for a 85k home seems very low though.

as a side note.. this is why our industry is better off than pre 08.... people have to actually qualify for loans.. it is frustrating I know..
