If I do go the equity route - such as taking 10% initially in additional capital for my services, should I also charge management fees down the road - or should these two activities be separate? 

I’ve read books, gone to seminars, and will be attending a workshop in a couple of weeks where I already know that they will charge me an arm and a leg for their mentoring program that I can’t afford.

I'm recently charged $135.03 by PM for repairing mailbox post that was loose.

I'd take a misdemeanor charge before I gave this guy a nickel.

Local HML's have been the only ones that have been reasonable but they are charging high points and high interest.

I also tried to Bid on a property which they asked for my Credit Card to charge $2,500 for the opportunity to make a Bid.  

HML typically charge high rates and only offer short terms.

In the properties we allow pets we charge $25/month per pet.

Many contractors bid the work and then let the City inspectors pick apart the project and they charge the owners for changes.

Just be sure to check the origination  charges, if any.
