So the fee to the brokerage ends up being nominal, I have the protection of doing it through the brokerage, and I have my compliance officer look over everything to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. 

If it is nominal, I would do it without hesitation.

I have always tried to avoid complexes that have anything more than a nominal amount of studio/efficiency apartments.And to avoid complexes that were "beyond" the suburbs (say 30-60 miles outside the large city I invest in).I would love to hear what other multi-family investors have found about these 2 issues.

I nominate John Fedro to be the speaker. :)

So even if you record the transfer with a nominal amount (such as $1 or $10), the transfer taxes won't just be negligible. 

Once you have so many leads that you think your current technology can't keep up with you, your investing activities will be making you money and a laptop will be a nominal cost.

Nominal cost.
