Management companies are almost all alike in the way they run and the fees they charge.

I bet you have good pies up there.

Your best bet is to be honest and explain the circumstances.Perhaps you could talk to them in advance before you spend the money and time for the classes.

Well then I found out how much they were charging the investor to build on land that they only paid $17.00 a sq/ft for, I knew what I wanted to do.

I was shocked to hear that some of these "services" charge up to 2 months of mortgage payments (between $5,000 and $7,000 in CA).I'd appreciate your opinions and experiences with these services, either as a customer or entrepreneur.

If the numbers work and the market sets the price then a 500k investment for a 2 br/1 then so be it.I agree that location, weather, land availability, and jobs(salaries) all play a roll in the cost of a house.Do I think its crazy to pay that much....you bet.

I am not too sure about placing ads in those sites that are offering services free of charge because we may be not be aware if our ad expires.Ruthrbns

The point isn't that the "gurus" material is expensive, the point is that almost without exception they only include the "good" side of the business even though they are charging you thousands of dollars for the info.

Pretty sure both those first choices are loan fraud, unless everything is disclosed to the lender and the lender agrees.A rehab loan or hard money loan with a rate-and-term refi is your best bet, IMHO.

You will want to do yellow letters and emphasize the benefits you offer landlords:-Elimate tenant hassles and headaches forever-No more chasing tenants to pay the rent-We never charge any fees or commissions -We can close on the date of your choice-We will buy your house “as-is”-It doesn’t matter if the property is vacant or occupied
