Blue Gate Capital Never Charges Any Upfront Fees, Our Clients Pay AMCs or Appraisal Companies Directly.

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

How is PM charging you if the agreement is over?

Some try to charge an up front fee.

In my experience that's not actually the case at least in legitimate evictions for non-payment of rent or breach of another part of the lease.  

You’re not using a PM, AND you’re assuming you can charge a service animal a deposit and pet rent?

The lower the score, the higher the risk and the more we charge for a deposit.

The tenant will legitimately claim the seals were of poor quality to begin with.

Legitimate lenders may charge a small application fee (around $250) to verify you’re serious, but if someone’s asking for thousands with no real intention of closing, that’s a huge red flag.On a more positive note, there are creative financing approaches out there.

The smaller more nimble banks such as state chartered or regional banks are better able to service you.If the LLC that owns the property is part of a legitimate business, is profitable, then you stand a good chance of securing some kind of funding.
