You can refi down as rates get better for a much better exit fee.

On the other hand, you may do better by allowing pets and requiring pet rents, pet deposits and pet fees.

I am trying to make sure I am only enforcing the lease and not reading it with a biased perspective.I would happily consult an attorney for a reasonable fee (any recommendations are welcome.)The original annual lease had an end date of 3/31, if that is helpful to know.

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?

I was just reading some older posts on the topic and people were saying they're only getting about 2% option fee.

If you want to enter into a partnership where you bring the equity, focus on finding a partner who has demonstrated the ability to add value not as easily obtained through fee oriented services. 

I would happily consult an attorney for a reasonable fee, but learned this afternoon the one I had used once in the past, has since retired.

No point in giving up 11% interest and fees. 

And, pay taxes, realtor fees, etc., so I can lock in a rate that's below inflation?

Each time you refi bridge loan, dscr, etc you have loan fees adding to your expenses.
