The fees are reasonable no worse than other get rich quick seminars. 

My first property in Cincinatti cash flows for $495/month NOI after monthly HOA fees & property management are subtracted.

Sometimes the landlord was sympathetic, and realized a painful eviction was coming...sometimes the Soldier moved out and paid a hefty fee to break the lease.  

But you can at least save the PM fee by managing yourself since you live there.

Just to throw out a property for example:100k Purchase price10k in repairs130k ARV1300/month rent1313/yr taxes550/yr flood insurance est800/yr insurance est10% management fee...

I was a little surprised how much the operating costs really are when I try and project what I'll need in 10 years to not have to pay out of pocket for big expenses plus the basic outflow (lawn, lic fees, termite inspections, insurance, taxes...)Here's my question, the property nets 1500 per month after I pull everything out.

You probably will have to go to mediation and if he has a smart lawyer will file lis pendens on property if mediation doesn't work out with a ton of legal fees

I'm eligible for a VA loan so 0 down but to minimize the funding fee I can put down 5-10%.

Surprisingly, these two people are not interested in now reimbursing me for the unpaid rent, attorney fees, and damages to the unit :)3.

A buyer's agent works for your interest and does not cost you anything as the fees are paid by the seller.
