Since the NAR Sitzer-Burnett lawsuit settlement, I expect that innovative brokerages will start offering flat fee buyer services.

Vetting tenants on my own to avoid paying broker fees is the way to go

you can't really micromanage tenants.All you can do is create systems with some flexibility.Again, if you read how we charge our Processing Fees, they encourage the behavior we want, while discouraging (via fees) the behavior we do not want. 

If the consensus is that they are flat or higher, properties will be priced accordingly. 

At the end of the day, it really depends on the borrower profile, and their priorities as they relate to time, fees, etc. 3.

Often times if you lower the rate, the fees go up and vice versa.

Depending on your long term goals I wholesale and use the assignments fees to buy free and clear properties and I use creative marketing to buy and keep in my portfolio. 

We also charge a $45 late fee on the 6th along with a $25 notice posting fee.

Some, like ours, focus on offering optional services such as renters insurance or washer/dryer rentals without requiring tenants to opt into a full package.When choosing a property manager, I recommend asking about the structure and purpose of any fees.

I am looking for more information on ways to save on tax fees for transferring homeownership from a parent to myself.
