Do the realtors take a fee for the contract? 

Started with platforms we had a lot to choose from but we started pushing content on theseFacebook (Business and Personal) Instagram (Business and Personal)Blogger Vine Google + (Business and Personal)Youtube Flickr Our website Bigger Pockets Twitter (Business and Personal)LinkedIn (Business and Personal)Tumblr Pinterest I knew when people went to google Bolthouse Homes I wanted a wow factor of "Man that is a ton of content" along with "they really do some professional stuff" I aimed for 25 total posts a day and one video a week. 

This includes all materials, dump fees, and permits. 

The fees make me cringe a little but as far as I can tell this a step in the right direction.

@Andrew KwiatkowskiI've thought about Fairmont and Clarksburg/Bridgeport, however as long as I have a full time job I'm not interested in looking that far away.  20 mins to Fairmont and 45 mins to C-burg/B-port doesn't sound that far away, but the inconvenience factor has steered me away.If I ever do this full time, I would absolutely look in that direction. 

Here is a blog where I wrote about a recent 42 unit we bought and did creative things to add value. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/bought-multi-million-dollar-apartment-complex-age-26/Just a few ways to produce ancillary income:- Laundry Coin laundryDetergent/laundry essentials in a vending machine in the common area laundry rooms.Rent individual W/D to each unit-Parking Garage parkingCovered parkingprime spot parkingJust plain old charge for parking-Renovations Interior units upgradesCommon area renovationExterior upgrades for curb appeal-Vending machines In common areas such as exercise room, pool house, laundry or leasing office-Trash pick up service In high-end buildings they have a service where you can set trash outside your door and for a fee maintenance will go around each night and collect it so the resident doesn't have to carry it to the dumpster.

I do not want to assess any late fees, yet at the same time do not want this to become an issue going forward.

Though some are adding a rental registry with a fee, usually justified as an inspection cost. 

With what the owner wants to walk away with/owes in taxes/my assignment fee, the price is still 60 cents on the dollar, but you are buying the squatter. 

Lesson learned...we purchased a SimpliSafe home security system that we can now move from project to project and has only $15 a month in monitoring fees.
