Why can't you get a bank loan for the acquisition, or continue partnering and build up your inventory of cash flow properties?

I had considered an up front expense at acquisition but the on going maintenance being a percentage of gross rents seemed like it is just another capex buffer.

As far as the septic and crawl space plumbing just do what you should with any property acquisition.  

Keep my information @Christopher A York, it's possible I may hire another acquisitions associate or someone to assist elsewhere in our companies next year.  

I would like to roll all of the proceeds from the sale into the acquisition of a much larger multi-family property.  

They have internal teams that handle site acquisition who can be difficult to track down and in many situations the carriers will hire an outside firm to complete this task on a contract basis.

I would like to work it into my acquisition or refi strategy for this year but I'm trying to understand some of the benefits and some of the pitfalls before using an online lender over hard money for example.

They charge extra fees; 3.5% acquisition fee (one time per property), 10.5% of rent (monthly), and a leasing fee (realtor feed) of 1.0% (home value) per year (That may be wrong).  

There is lots of investor activity because of the cheap costs of acquisition and the majority of the market in the city are renters so it can be a great cash flow purchase but as always tenant selection is everything and property management selection is of major importance and very difficult for those properties.

I am able to provide photos, videos, scopes of work and anything else they might need to justify their new acquisition.
