However, the sq ft are nearly the same.It is actually a 2 bedroom 1 bath and not a 3 bedroom per se... and also not sure how they got an ARV in excess of $85K on the property -- that is an extreme stretch.

they handle my primary residence and my vehicle in new jersey but wont touch my rental in phily (its old and has a flat roof!)

I'm a little confused / concerned about how cheap it is though: a flat $100 / mo.

I could have bought toys I wanted, complained about flat wages in America, or made up some other lame excuse as to why I wasn't wealthy.I started this at the ripe old age of 37. 

Some Brokers charge flat fees others do not.Real estate is local.

These repairs also seem excessive given in 2011, 2012, 2013, and the first nine months of 2014, the previous property manager conducted $664, $2,600, $1,900, and $210 in operating expenses each year, respectively.Furthermore, whenever my mother asks for documentation that the repairs were conducted (ie receipts or pictures) or were considered an emergency, the property manager does not respond.

For my excess cash flow each month I have been putting $100/property/month into a separate account which is marked for large expenses (cap ex). 

Take them with a grain of salt, as these are just my own opinions and observations:I tried to invest in a couple duplexes near Kendall Yards (an urban renewal project in an area that was previously locally called "felony flats") two years ago but the financing fell through, which was a shame.

They just flat don't do HELOCs on NOO anymore.You may need to shop around.

You must acknowledge that you may fall flat, then, if that you give the best effort and still don't win, in any event you can be fulfilled that you've attempted.
