SFH in Tacoma WA, gas utility quoted free to bring a gas pipe from the street to the house and a meter.

I had to have the visceral experience of committing to a 30 year obligation was 5 times my annual salary and then watch it work out relatively risk free (because I have to live somewhere) to feel comfortable making multiple six-figure commitments. 

Looks like consensus says they are not worth the cost, thanks all!

Long story short it cost me a deal plus more money (Besides the sign up fee (5k not 4k) plus the monthly cost of 160 to 180 for the "subscription" as well as the EM, Termite reports etc. and not only caused issue with the seller and their realtor but mine as well.

The difficult part is going to be for buyers who will have to either come up with the funds to pay their broker or negotiate seller paid closing costs to cover it

Feel free to reach out if you still need help.

By the end of this year I should have around 12-15 SFH doors and I have started looking for my first 20 unit multifamily deal.Most of us do this to have more free time to do the things in life we enjoy.

It may also be beneficial to consult a local attorney or your property management company for guidance on lease-breaking standards in your area.

We haven't had success buying a place to have as a STR yet, but when we do I'm going to try to make sure that only fragrance free products are used.
