I want to avoid being massacred by those fees if at all possible.

One would also pay 10% ish fee to convert foreign currency to USD.

I know broker fees are $500 so $12,500 in commission?

The entry fee is 8% the existing loan carries an interest rate of 4.125%.

If the LLC and its income are entirely outside California, it typically does not require registration with the California Secretary of State (SOS) or payment of California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) fees, even if you reside in California.

@Orlando Johnson- If you were going with 6% real estate agent fees the $12,500 number is incorrect. 

Too many are locking up properties at retail prices and tacking on outrageous assignment fees, leaving no room for investors to profit.

Can easily get a 20% referral fee just for sourcing and handing off that lead.

They're better at collecting rent and charging late fees than most owners ever are. 

When you add on your new lease fees, lock box fees, inspection fees etc. the percentage creeps far higher.
