Some agents are savvy enough with their offer to  require the seller to pay the early issue.. others its just another line item and buyer pays it..

I used the background and credit checks offered through Cozy. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Unfortunately, NY does not offer many local STR companies due to the regulations that make STR hosting difficult. 

What price would you offer?

Maybe start with some smaller jobs before going all in.

I know of several DSCR and portfolio lenders who offer different terms based upon your situation.

One way to save some money, especially if you are local is to split the job. 

It's one project, that's more hands off and offers great returns. 

It sounds like we didn't do a good job of setting expectations with you on the front end.
