They often think they're the smartest people in the room and, as such, they should be in charge. 

Once we changed to charging a fee, proof of ability to close, good income, a sizable reserve and reasonable credit, the students not only started taking the training seriously but actually began buying properties for their retirement.

When I pointed that out, they suggested I instead setup my credit card as a vendor, and enter each charge as a bill, which would then fix the assets and liabilities issue.  

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

One thing you might think of doing is having and promoting your own website to avoid the exhorbitant fees charged by the third party sites such as Expedia, Booking.com and Air BnB.  

My company The Property Center (TPCrents.com) charges 10% only if you have one property.

I got this notice in the mail where the HOA is charging $5457 in dues for the year...a 500% difference from your pro forma. 

Generally they are not rolled into the loan, and it's more the level of fees (say the percentage) they charge rather than any "junk" fees or costs.

My top priority is having maximum flexibility with what I can invest in within my HSA, second priority is ease of use and convenience of the investing platform, third is minimizing any account, trading, or management fees charged by the HSA provider. 

My general contractor told me to charge her a $400/month pet fee for four months –which would allow me to save up $1,600 to cover damages- and then give her 30 days notice in May when it will be warmer and faster to fill a unit.
