Expect to allocate less time  towards management functions if self-performed or more favorable management fee structures if 3rd party management companies are utilized (which ties back to #1, as well).

Quote from @Alex Scattareggia: Is the problem that the property wont be profitable with the 20% management fee taken out?

They ask you to use buildium to look at everything, but buildium doesn’t give you an easy to follow way to see subtractions from repairs or marketing fees that they charge.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

Soft cost, carry cost, offsite and fees/.2 = 10,000,000 Total Build Cost 40 pads= 250k per pad Cost [250k/$150 per square ft = 1666 sqft per unit] 250k per pad x 20% = 50k for land ready to build. 

There are no additional fees to your subscription.

@Judy Jacobs, consider fees and exchange rates to maximize the amount received.

Knowing that I had a 3-year prepayment penalty, I structured the lease option so that if the option is executed within 3 years, then the tenant buyer pays that fee for me. 

HOA fees and redtape also added to frustration and will be avoided int he future.

Additionally, because of court time, requirements, etc. they result in  higher legal fees.
