Spending a few hundred dollars for access to successful people is really nothing in the bigger scheme of things. 

Vanessa Allsup try NREIG - they gave me a much better price on my ATL triplex than I originally had with Geico/Travellers and I like that you can access all of your paperwork easily online - very user friendly.

I had a question regarding how to handle a property that currently has tenants that I am looking at acquiring.

As some of the other members have already mentioned, proper notice needs to be given to your tenants, certain bank accounts need to be maintained and certain rules of access need to be followed.

@Dean Harris thanks for the response, I will definitely be asking tons of questions in the next few months as I look forward to acquiring my first!

I also thought access to the MLS and being able to show myself properties would be a good asset!

I will be acquiring the property as a primary residence so hopefully I can find someone with a reasonable LTV and lower down payment.

The management fee is for them to manage the property once it is acquired, and profit sharing on properties when a partnership puts together a deal is pretty standard. 

-For the value of the building, either check the tax records (some municipalities make it easy to access via an open website) for purchase prices, or use a website like zillow or realtor.com to see the sale prices of the surrounding buildings. 

It's alley access since a row home, but on the end so convenient,  but a car couldn't get to the back.
