Then he charges me his bank's $13 fee, so a total of $63.     

In this case, am I still able to count the inspection fee as a capital loss, even though this expense occurred before I rented out my first property?

The PM fees are built into the numbers. 

Some attorneys charge for every communication and any contact with your attorney that is not case related may rack up fees to you.

In all, the transactional/exit fees are disproportionately higher when selling the inexpensive SFH homes.

Down payment on FHA is 3.5% so you’re not wrong there and safe to assume another 2-4% for closing costs BUT you can negotiate seller assist to cover bulk of the fees if not all.

If she pays, then your really out of luck and you have to sue her in court for breaking the lease and damages.In general, I don't take people to court once I have the property back as the attorney fees and the fact you RARELY collect on any judgements (15% of the time or less) eats any profit and wastes your time.

I create a comp set to dive into the competition and analyze how many other MTR homes there are, what cleaning fees are being assessed, booking lead time, # bedrooms and competition and if EV charge, Pet policy and Pools make a difference.JURNY for a PMS system & channel manager.

We don't charge any  up-front fees for this and it shouldn't be necessary, but do watch out for the upfront non-refundable "commitment fee" or "engagement fee."

The good news is sometimes you don’t need to pay the thousands in attorney fees.
