After I make those payments then my lease with them is for $5,250 for 12 months where they pay all of the utilities.

.✔️ You’d rather pay for peace of mind and legal compliance.Final ThoughtsIf you’re house hacking a small multi-unit (like a 2- or 3-flat) and are comfortable being hands-on, self-managing can be a great way to save money and learn the business.

My realtor is asking for $3000 flat fee + additional listing broker compensation  of $400.What would you pay total for buyer/seller?

At full occupancy, the cash flow I just keep in reserves for repairs or help pay the principal. 

Simply agree to pay too much and get it under contract and then call around and waste everybody’s time trying to unload it to end Buyer.

I pay professionals for help and can do basic tasks on my own without free labor. 

Quote from @Paul Lucenti: Would you rather have monthly cash flow or would you prefer a quick pay day after 3-6 months?

If you don't have the money, then borrow the money from someone who you will pay them for use of their capital. 

Will it pay the full PITI plus Capex, management fees, maintenance etc?

In the end we had to pay to turn the space back in to a white box/shell and closed with basically zero physical assets.
