Also list the property for a flat fee and you could save 3% of the selling commissions. 

@Brian Junkert I'm confident that you are mistaken about the "someone paying your taxes, and charging you a bunch of fees", "because they want to" issue.  

Keep in mind with property management - you aren't looking for the low fee - you are looking for a property manager who can maximize your rents and keep expenses low.  

Two ideas:Solicit your list to see if you have buyers who will just pay you a "finder's fee" for a good buy & hold versus getting involved in the contract assignment or double-close process. 

I'm thinking that if I go along and confirm the offer, then the due diligence will start and if I find something huge wrong I can just say the deal is off and I just lost the due diligence fee...I'm not 100% on this tho

Or if you don't have a contract I will pay you a finder s fee.

For example if I turned around and rented my condo in the current market I would probably just break even or maybe make $100-200/mo without accounting for management fees.  

You will have to have a broker sponsor you, you will have MLS dues, you will have other misc fees that this industry loves to charge us :-)Decide whether it's worth the hassle to do it yourself for just find a good agent who understands investors and will work with you.

I have one lender that would like to speak to me about my assignment fee.  

Hey Everyone, Talked to my mortgage broker today to see what kind of property i would qualify for with a conventional mortgage, and she said something that I wanted to verify with everyone.A couple of properties I am looking at are Condos, and they have an association fee associated with them.My broker pretty much cut me off and said, any unit that is part of a "Condo Association" will not qualify for a convention mortgage on an investment property.
