If they say "it's to cover marketing" then I would argue they probably aren't professional and just charge it because they can.The leasing fee is charged per door, meaning you will pay it every time they place a tenant in one of your rentals.

Management in the area runs about 5% income or $275 set fee per month for all 4 units.

It appears the fee is for each LLC, so if you have multiple RE LLCs, you have to report each one and pay the fee. 

This document will memorialize the terms of your agreement, what your fee is, what your involvement will be, and dates for everything.

@Andy GibsonMake sure you work with a fee-only financial planner who is a fiduciary.

A few months ago out of the blue I got some checks in the mail from the counties where my liens were with the original amount of investment and the interest fees and penalties on top of that. 

There are also apartment buildings that collect app fees and show a show unit even though they don't have a unit to rent. 

Clients call with a retail mindset that I bid a project and it is a 'fixed fee'.

A DST traps you for a long time and you have to pay commissions and fees on lousy yields of 5%. 

DSCR loans are loans issued by private lenders with proprietary and differentiated rules and guidelines and are typically included in “non-QM” securitizations.The advantage of conventional refinance loans is that they typically have the lowest interest rates and fees.
