Sounds like $15k might be a generally safe bet on houses that look "pretty good"... and obviously upwards from there if adding an additional room.Property management fee: Yes, 10% was my starting rate there, but I have 4 properties in the area currently and my management company has a portfolio rate of 8% once you reach 3+ properties through them which is a nice little bonus.I should have caught the property tax difference!

(and wasn't there less than 5 mins prior, so think she was stealing it) I put it back, give her the check and receipts and ask her to sign saying she received the check and understands the charges for cleaning, carpet damage.  

I would say your best bet is to attend the next Hoa meeting, ask them how they tried to contact you, and then ask for a “reasonable” $50-$100/month fine.

They have a tenant guarantee that if the tenants move out or are evicted before the lease is up they don't charge another placement/finding fee.

I feel like he is charging me  on the equity he thinks he has in the property and not the loan he got for it.

If they say you have to provide them a copy of the lease, then that's what you signed up for.I recommend contacting the HOA, pleading ignorance, asking forgiveness, and begging them to reduce the charges to something more reasonable.

The lowest amount I've seen is 20%, your best bet being an Agency loan.  

Facebook will push your ad in front of people and you have a less likelihood of converting that person if your funnel is not optimized.Google Adwords would be your best bet if you are just starting out.

Fayetteville real estate investing is pretty good, though recently it's getting MUCH more competitive than in past yearsnone of the good deals in Fayetteville stay on market long. your best bet is to talk to realtors and hunt the market often, when a deal comes you need to move lightning quick.

I have tried charging a $25 late fee but this doesn't seem to phase this particular tenant , she just ignores the late fee
