You can always work out a deal with your broker too change that, in which you would need the above items.  

If I had them managed, that would easily add 10-15% to the expenses.I think if you actually itemize all of your costs, you will quickly find that a $250k duplex with rents only $2k a month to be a marginal deal, and a bad deal when you try and finance 100% of the deal.  

They may be rougher on properties than standard tenants but the cash flow potential is good, especially with a rent by room model.

I also know that management fee and salaried employees are separate line items.

If not just request line item pricing and also what is being done in house vs. outsourced.

@Uri E.As a Property Management that deals with Home warranty on a daily basis the answer is NO…Reason - for the small items they are going to pay but when there is a big ticket item they will always find a way to have the Owner pay for that same fix.

What model are you using? 

My takeaway is that I don't need to have my entire business model planned out in order to just buy a house. 

I am looking to purchase my first investment property SFH by using the BRRRR model.

It's our only multi family as we're an SFR model.
