I'm a wondering if they'll eventually start charging for their service, but we'll deal with that when the time comes. 

@Shadonna N.If your not already in the portal, you will have to fill out a few forms with contact info, bank info etc, and then expect to not get paid for at least 30-60 days initially, they will pay the back rent, but that's how long it takes to get in their system.

Our 2nd TD is typically at 15 % interest.The 3rd TD is net profit split after all expenses.What we do, to recuperate our initial investment, is sell our 2nd TD note at 15%... while keeping the 3rd TD S.A.M.

Although this may satisfy the initial screening of the 1% rent to purchase price, after I run our numbers there is barely any cash flow left.  

You should add Basecamp for the initial sale process. 

Initially, it looked like the city was going to say the smaller house was nonconforming because the property is zoned for single family residential, so the appraisal came in low at 218k with the big house and all three lots.

Obtaining as much knowledge as I can about the markets that I'm interested in but also want to limit the amount of time wasting I'm doing with potential team members.I can see arguments for both having a realtor first or a property manager first and I'm curious to hear from OOS investors how they began initiating their out of state teams and who was more beneficial to begin working with first when you have little expertise in the market you're about to enter.Thanks in advance!

Specifically, I will be charging for tenant placement and a monthly management fee.

DO NOT let them charge termination fees or other penalties for terminating management.

Those fees charged to me.
