You really need to get an idea from them and hopefully other borrowers on what reality is since they can easily blow up your deals.

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.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

To me as a land use Civil, that is actually a good thing because while it is likely that is what makes her believe she owns the road, the reality is there is no debate that she only has an easement right to the road, not ownership...which creates an even stronger case for you. 

Years ago I thought it would be the next big thing but where I'm at it's all about the bottom line and especially now with the new covid realities my customer base rather have a larger home that has space for a home office and room to roam at a less expensive monthly payment/rent.  

I wouldn't overthink it too much since in reality you'll be slashing your cost of living expense.

Not meant to be a sob story, ha ha, just reality. 

A 6% commission ($39,000 on $650K) is a tidy sum, but let's consider reality for just a minute.First, who is your buyer? 

I'd want to see a ROE of at least 2X that.The reality is that SFR properties above ~$130k in value become increasingly difficult into make viable rentals.

I like boring ones for example a SFH in the suburbs of Nashville or Kansas City, 3/2.5/1750/ 2000 built, good schools rented to a family w/ 2 kids and a dog . . . .truly the American Dream.I'm staying away from older, smaller in sketchy parts of town that on paper are cash cows but in reality . . . not.To me boring real estate means you can live in LA, own one or more in KC, use a good property manager (not all are bad/jerks/crocks) rent out, still experience typical and minimal rental/house issues (yes, you will have them I promise) but at least encounter them less frequent.Couple of things to know about this type of investing:relatively low riskrelatively for real estate a more liquid assetonce you buy and see how it works and build some confidence - easy to duplicatedoesn't require extensive experienceif done correctly can be done in the background of your life, ie you don't need to be actively present on a daily/weekly basis. 

The reality is that the pullouts are really for the kids cause lets face it not many people want to sleep on the pullout, but generally the kids don't mind and some of them like it just because it is different.
