They charge 300 something a year for the membership.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

There have been other builders who have had to face criminal charges for doing what Jeff Beach has done to everyone.

While those are all considerations and options you have a license and skill that is incredibly valuable to anyone who wants to transition into real estate full time....the ability to charge for your time.

In my lifetime, I have seen my basic target number go from $200K to $2 million and seems to be moving away faster than ever.

Subtract more for AirBnB charges, local management, repairs, cleaning, etc and there is not a lot left to pay the mortgage. 

Little paint and the contractor I found let me buy the material and only charged me labor.

If the higher end rent prices on comparable units take an extra month to fill the vacancy and also the tenant stays 1-2 years instead of 3-4 years on average those landlord make LESS income charging that rental price ESPECIALLY if they pay a PM a placement fee upon turnover on top.

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

The only good use I can see of the fees are based on rent charged would be for a tenant to purchase it and charge themselves $0 or near $0 rent to avoid the rent based charges.
