@Greg Scott, Yes, self-directed IRA does require a custodian, who charges fees.

Account Closed It makes complete sense that the guy with less overhead and presumably less employees would be able to charge less for a similar job as compared to the 2nd guy who has a big company, more employees, more overhead. 

I have had some districts give me the list, and some want to charge for it.If all else fails you might could file an open records request.   

This is why for self employed applicant it is difficult to secure a new mortgage. 

If they do, based on them claiming a doctor recommended a "service" animal you can continue to charge a pet fee.  

Note the other instances of ROI such as Dividend Yield, Interest Yield, Net Income Yield, Net Operating Income Yield (aka the infamous "cap rate"), these are all different types of ROI.ROI is a generic concept of how efficient an investment can generate return as such it is a concept that is applicable in investments other than real estate (i.e. stocks, bonds, etc). 

Here are the knowns:Rent per tenant: $750 (this is below market value due to deferred maintenance, I believe $1,000-1,200 is more realistic)Property taxes: $900 per yearLandlord insurance: $1,000 per yearLandlord pays water/trash: claims to be $125 per month (will ask for proof)Landlord is in charge of snow removal and mowing lawnThere are 5 electric meters, each tenant pays their own (landlord covers hallway and outdoor lights)What I plan to ask for is the copies of the leases, copies of the utility bills, and copies of bank statements showing the tenants are actually paying on time.

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.

Finally, I must say, I'm not a lawyer, but i do try to understand carefully the legal issues applicable to the Notes I acquire.

Consult your contract and applicable state / local laws for rules to follow.
