I'm open to deals in the 150K and under range right now to get my feet wet and learn, so if I make a mistake, it will be a good lesson, and not a painful one. 

the phone is your friend in this instance.. and it can be hard in certain parts of the country like east coast.. where there are all these independent closing attorney 2 and 3 man shops.. unlike say west coast were we have national title companies with 30 employees in one office.. ounce of presentation will save you a lifetime of pain.. its worth it..

New cost = $10,750 = 10.75%For the pain and suffering of proving to an entity that I am credit-worthy I charge $2,000 an hour to gather my finances and put hat in hand.  3 hrs min. 

My real estate exposure is still in its infancy stage so im expecting some growing pains.

Through the BP forums, I learned that in Illinois it might be a big pain in the rear to evict a tenant who owns their own home.

We will use actual fico scores.There are progrmas for 580-619 credit available but its a pain in the butt to do.Ideally you'll want 620+ and 680 + if you want a decent rate, anything sub 620 will usually cause you to pay .50-.75% more in rate plus potential points as well.

Regulations are going to have to adapt but I expect some cities are going to make it much more painful than others.From a landlord point of view it is certainly more complicated.

Been there done that and I feel your pain.

The pricing plans on their website show that they have a flat per-lease fee for agents who do property management, which doesn't sound too painful.

Cozy is easy for them to use and it's free.At the free level I have (not even sure if there are premium levels), I will receive an e-mail when they have submitted the rent to cozy, then it takes a few business days to clear, which I don't mind.The set-up from the owners perspective is a little bit of a pain, especially if starting mid-lease.
