The fees are high, and the rate might be a little high.

You probably also have an opportunity to trim some fat on your PM fees if you still want to outsource the management because that's heavy.

It helps me to feel more confident in allowing the termination and waiving the fee.

I am not sure what the pushback is other than not wanting to pay attorney fees.  

Also hearing better than market results from those who are self managing as consumers continue to buck excessive fees by seeking to book direct.  

Only way you made money on this deal, and avoided everyting being eaten up with title & recording fees and transfer taxes, was by flipping the contract - also known as wholesaling.Why can't you just call it what it is?

Its like 100 bux a month, meaningless fee for them to handle it all Good luck  That was a momentary lapse in judgement lol.

A lease usually states somewhere that items charged to the tenant (fees, utility bills, etc) are "payable as rent" or "payable before rent".

Because you have to keep the same taxpayer as owner from the relinquished property to the replacement property I'd worry that the legal protection you'd want for a development TIC won't be there.DSTs have high fee but probably are the best path forward for someone who wants to be fully passive and avoid legal risk.

He has a contract with the seller which will then be assigned to me for a fee.
