Trying to get a pulse on this deal because I feel like I am at the point where I really want to go after my first deal and I might be letting emotions get in the way of my judgement.

What do you do to keep your rekey/locksmith charges down?

Generally the interest rate charged will be a bit higher than a conventional or FHA loan.

That one charges 49.00 a month!

The trouble is that many of the same lenders I have used over the years are all maxed, I have even made calls to more "emotionally expensive" sources (EX. the types that call you to let you know that they have concerns about shingle color on the house they lent on and think it should be changed, two to three times a month) and even most of those are tapped. 

The owner pays for any specials offered and they can start charging management fees immediately.  

If they leave I would like to charge more so that is why I am asking about your experience and location.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

In Ohio, you can only CHARGE A FEE to manage a property that you don't own unless you are a broker.

That has left a lot of houses and entire neighborhoods rotten plugged with decaying homes but damn banks keeping raising prices so my mortgage is high And the price of rent is what I have to charge to afford mortgage and repairs.
