Interesting part applicant 2 works for a well known company as installation engineer for 15 years.

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

Had I not scrutinized the details, I would have unknowingly paid more than I had agreed to.This experience was costly and frustrating, and I urge all potential borrowers to ask for a full breakdown of all fees and interest components before committing to any loan.

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

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. 

They can really throw off your numbers if you are not familiar with a citys transfer tax, and fees.

They should have the option to install a security alarm at their own expense.

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

I tried to research the best and most user-friendly PM site that did not charge a fee to maintain a property, being that it was my first one and I was self-managing and not using a PM.  

Our HOA is considering buying the lease so that the entire condo will become fee simple.
