His PM fees of $120 for 5 days means he is paying $720/month for a PM, ridicules.You are entitled to $1395.75 for September.His expenses to operate his business are not your responsibility.

If I continue doing business with them I need to know how much they charge me for these things.Again, I am new to this and coming from the outside it seems like a very normal thing to to ask.

Continued success to you sir.

with an operating agreement?

You dont have anything to lose and will ABSOLUTELY WALK AWAY,  if you continue looking and get a deal for even $5000 cheaper- YOU WILL. 

We would obviously continue to make payments on the one we live in, and probably take the cash flow from the rental to pay one of them off.

Short sales are still a little fuzzy to me, so I'll have to do some more research on how they operate first. 

The reason I mention this is that books like RDPD are the introductory step in a continuous upsell leading to the $40,000 worthless mentoring programs I just mentioned.In any case good luck whatever you decide.

Now, she wants to continue the $100 discount since I sent her an email saying that the discount would continue until the grass is in.  

Of course I'll continue reading books, forums, and BP posts, as well as listening to podcasts.I do have another question, would you recommend showing him an actual deal that I'm interested in (as a young investor looking for his advice) or first just seeing if he is interested in the idea of partnering?
