Rehab fees are coveres with loan from a local development community program. 

Simple for putting the seller and buyer together you get paid a fee .

I have the tenants pay for the background check as part of the application fee.

If he assigns you the contract, you pay him an assignment fee, then the contract is between you and the actual seller.  

Some people that I know who do similar jobs don't because the amount of money they would spend on lawyer fees would cost more than the lost. 

Also, you avoid bank junk fees.

I like your idea above with regards to the 10% extra management fee however in my experience this has a very very small likelihood of changing the PMs mind.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Remember that you have real estate fees (6%) in most places and other closing costs when you sell.
