@Cody Furman first of all let the residents know that there is a new sheriff in the town with a welcome letter and explain the everything you can in that letter and then deploy some cloud based software like Buildium to track your tenants and the rent and charge late fee and give them vacation notices on timely manner and evicted the bad ones and do not raise the rents until you are stabilized and do the screening to fill in vacancy otherwise you will be in big trouble if bring in bad ones.Charge application fee of at least $35 per couple and they will pay and use that for screening.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

@Charlie MacPherson   I see these $5,000 fees attached to short sale listings more and more frequently.

Depends if course on the fees the sponsors are charging as well - if those fees are very light, then low double digits could still be possible 

.- Tape measure- Flash light- Portable charging bank  -Portable speaker-Nice clip board/ Padfolio/ note pads

Assignment fees are normally paid at closing. most title companies will may you with a check or can wire you funds but  may charge for the service.

Honestly, I think it's because I'm a girl, the guy purposely ripped me off and essentially charged me double... they did replace some roofing  boards, but overall it was just BS.. did work that wasn't agreed upon.. going from a $5200 quote to $10,300 is BS in my book.     

I'll get charged $150-$200 for the 20 minutes they took to take care of that not to mention the ridiculous 8-10% fee per month for taking a tenants call? 

Its well worth it,  and they also offer frequent training,   attorney-reviewed rental forms that are correct and legal for seattle, etc.,  as well as organized and effective local advocacy.   

For what it's worth, the tenants do pay a fixed utilities charge of $125 charge combined per month, which is included in the rent number I gave you (I checked with the city prior to buying, who told me the previous 12 months bills had never exceeded $135).
