YOU are in charge not the agents.At the end of the day you don't need to hit a home run on your first deal. 

If you are going back and forth about high points between two lenders and miss the extra "fees" that might be charged by one, you are missing the point.

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.

Fifth, she allowed a maintenance issue to go unreported that cost you a lot more money and I would have charged her for those repairs.

I have the right but not obligation to charge myself a mgt fee. 

Owner occupied buyers might be ok with that but its cheaper to rent even in CA high price areas.Prices are only as good as the underlying fundamentals.

The other thing is whether the owner charges market rent.

@Shaun Hood you can get an 80% LTV Heloc on a rental at Pen Fed if you have 3 properties or less including a primary and they are held in your name and not in an LLC. 12 year draw, variable rate tied to prime + 1%, no closing costs unless a physical site visit appraisal is needed or you close it within 2 years in which case they back charge you the origination fees that they waive when opening ($400-$600).

The only difference is the fees normally charged the investor, are allocated to the nonprofit...as a donation from fyre CAPITAL.I might need to take a step back and realize that fyre CAPITAL itself is the donor, rather than the investor. 

Either you’ll be paying yourself on the sale or you can opt to not earn a commission which will make it cheaper on the sell side too.
