Now that I've got someone to screen, the landlord's process is to submit their rental application to a third-party screening service (applicant pays me the $30 fee to pass onto them), and if they're approved, the landlord informally OKs it without signing a lease or accepting rent payments from the new tenants.

I don’t ask for any lower agent fees when selling and she gets paid when I buy so it’s a win/win.

On top of that, the condo association (very small, 6 units only) is a disaster and is nearly bankrupt, the shared space (i.e. yard, parking lot) are in terrible shape, and the current association officers won't take steps to collect against past due association fee owners. 

I can replace all linens and household items via amazon and save on PM fees.

This took YEARS and I’m sure cost lots of attorney fees (which were likely reimbursed in the settlement) but just a interesting story. https://www.google.com/amp/www.orlandosentinel.com/news/orange/os-westgates-pays-widow-15-million-20171218-story,amp.html

I have heard that there are flat fee mentors but they limit the time and they dont allow shadowing CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME ADVICE????!

Judgement, garnishment...that's going no where.I value my time at $300 per hour... so over the course of the next few months if you have 6-8 hours involved in chasing this money you will be close to breaking even..and that's before attorney fees.

Hello fellow investorsI was wondering if I could get some thoughts on tax preparation "only" fees for a good CPA (not inclusive of any bookkeeping services). 

or try for sale by owner (Craigslist)...We'll explain that there will be more fees involved, and that it will take much longer to sell (especially in this market, compared to a few months ago) - but that if they're not in a rush of any kind, that it's usually their best option...In our experience, the best thing is just to give people real advice, and if you can really help them out - tell them that.Small margins are also tough for rehabbers, who are taking on risks and spending lots of time and money on the rehab.Best,Sean

Condos typically have very high HOA fees and that will diminish your cash flow all together.
