My cleaners do not clean grills, I a have in my house info that if the grill is used, the guest needs to clean it, otherwise there will be an additional  fee for grill cleaning.

You'll likely see higher fees and/or rates with those sorts of programs. 

Fathom does have a mentor program for beginners coming to Fathom, is based on servant leadership, offers 100% commission less a transaction and an annual fee and more.

To evaluate investment opportunities, consider factors like property condition, neighborhood trends, rental demand, and potential appreciation.

are we subjected to any other fees?

@Matthew CrivelliMostly due to the over building but there are other factors that we are still dealing with. 

What you do is create a management company and charge out a fee to your rental properties.

I am hoping to get some feedback on application fees.

In general, rental related real estate, is considered a passive activity.That means, that passive losses, are not eligible to offset income such as wages, interest, dividends,etc.However, I would still argue that real estate is great from a tax perseptive, making $270,000 you are likely in the 30%+ tax bracket when you factor in Federal and state taxes.Rental income, which is normally shielded by depreciation, will not be subject to the 30% tax as would interest and dividends.Best of luck.
