Is this an unreasonable expectation?

I wouldn't give them a copy of any of this unreasonable crapola.

The burden of proof of ownership falls on to the Seller, that is not unreasonable to transact with someone you don't know.

Thanks all,So things work basically the same down there as they do up here.If someone writes a note/loan at 0% - or even an unreasonably low rate of interest (like 1%), the IRS, like the CRA, will impute the published federal rate to be used.I presume that in addition to taxing the interest earned at the imputed rate, there are also fines/penalties assessed as there are/can be here.I figured something didn't smell right about seller financing at 0% interest.

The response not be irrational with some who try to pull unreasonable fees on a deal. :)

They might be willing to sign a petition against their unreasonableness.  

If I bought a house for $400,000, I think its entirely unreasonable to get anywhere near 2% of that per month in this area

If you want a "Property Manager" who strictly collects rent, answers phones, and calls contractors - then your strait commission model is fine.A property management firm that offers additional services (in house engineering/maintenance, construction, leasing, accounting, financial reporting services, etc.) in addition to the basic property management functions mentioned above will more than likely have a fee structure that includes additional fees that are above and beyond the base "management fee".To the OP - Are you surprised to see the fee in general, or do you feel it's an unreasonable/unjustifiable fee period?

But at the same time, I don't think its unreasonable for them to ask for minor improvements like fresh paint or whatever since the place is kind of dingy and I'd like to have an amiable relationship with these people.  

Jerryll Noorden I'm assuming the house is in Wilton where you've been farming, so your numbers are not unreasonable.
