That makes it a lot easier on me.  5% auction fee surcharge.My biggest fear now is outstanding maintenance. 

Your taxes are computed and reported exactly the same as a single member LLC vs having it in your own name.An LLC is for asset protection and you'll want to talk to an attorney as to whether it's a good plan for you.Hint:  With no other significant assets in your name, this is probably not beneficial to you.An LLC buys you an annual maintenance fee and, if you're determined to buy the property in an LLC, usually a higher interest rate and higher down payment requirements.

Mortgage recordation taxes, lender fees, title attorney fees etc.

I have installed their video intercom system in 2 commercial buildings in NY, it integrate with any type of door strike or magnetic lock, and the video quality is amazing. it doesn't require any phone line or data connection.

The properties I'm looking at rent for about $1000, so there is profit there, but then I need to account for management fees, vacancies, and repairs.

Has anyone ever gotten the feeling that maybe their lead paint inspector was drumming up business for his contractor friends, and securing a re-inspection fee for himself?

They always eventually paid and they always paid a late fee.

Then installing plywood back over the framing, new waterproof membrane, and new siding on the outside of the house.  

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

If you get hit by a lead test, it will take some money to be cleared and you may have to side the house and install new windows anyway.
