We have 66,000 duplexes in Milwaukee, most of them were originally built a 2 family homes by German immigrants who figured out that by simply stacking another unit on top of the 1st floor they could create a passive income stream with a relativley small investment.

So with this plan you get a year to feel things out at NET-0 or better. ideally you rent your place for say $2,100 and you rent a place for say $1,800 making for a gross net of $300 which should be enough to also cover any PM fee's as well making it truly a NET-0 to test the waters to see IF, keyword IF you can be a Landlord BEFORE getting yourself "pot-committed". 

As a conservative investor, I am personally not comfortable in investing in any of those platforms as I prefer sponsors with a lot more experience, a lot more skin in the game, better fees, a model that can be recession stress tested, etc..

Management Fee usually the best route for us in Canada.

Yeah scraping Auction is smart but the real edge is what you do with the data after it lands in your lap.If you already have Apify pulling all new foreclosures each morning, I’d tighten it up by baking your buy box into the scraper so it only keeps stuff that roughly pencils in, like estimated ARV times 0.7 minus a ballpark rehab and fees still leaves you with your target equity.

It does include a fee for my time as GC (I've made that mistake more than once, live and learn) and all finance related costs for 12 months. 

Ive seen properties exclusively on channels that rank higher than ones that are not. and it makes sense. why would they promote up a property on both channels over that is exclusively on their platform where they have to share fees with their competitors. so if the calendar is less open and not booked by them, i believe it would add to another items that ding the search.

I just bought a bank owned in the fall and same deal if you use our title company we will pay for the title insurance and I think in my case all the escrow fees as well.
