Hi @Samantha Neuwirth,Typically, if you're planning on buying a duplex/triplex (and living on site) it makes no sense to hire a management company.

Also when I'm listing a property in typically will not sell to someone using a rehab loan unless they are willing to pay signigantly more than the other offers.

I usually google average mortgage APR and put that number in there any investor worth his salt will know his typical Percentage from the lender he is working with and will factor that in when he sees your report.

Rental houses typically do not pay for themselves with rent.

What I am confused about is that when I purchased the property, all 7 units were receiving $500 p/month for a gross monthly of $3500 and $42,000 annually.

This is somewhat the area that I see container homes typically falling into. 

Are leasing fees typically a certain percentage  of gross rent or  follow any  other criteria?

Here are my numbers.Make 60 k per year at my job.1st home receive 2025 in rent .. mortgage is 1575.

I would probably avoid that language in the advertisement but then make it clear when an offer is received that the seller does not offer any credits or repairs.

So typically you're going to spend more money to get a deal.
