Then hope they don't raise the HOA fees on you.

Our commission is 5% on average just that alone would have been around 8k not to mention title fees etc?

It is common that when we purchase a property that is in a community that has a HOA that I am responsible for up to six months in the rears of HOA fees.

Keep in mind of all fees and holding cost related to the transaction. 

Both the legal and tax sides need to be considered.Are you going to charge arms-length management fees from LLC B to LLC A? 

I just bought two duplexes in Cleveland and will have work done to them, there will be many expenses I have for 2018 as I just started an LLC and besides rehab, and tons of fees, I will also have spent deductions on learning, travel as well. 

@Mike McCarthy, I see that cozy requires a 2.75% fee when tenants pay with either a credit or debit card.

Bosshardt, Watson, etc... tend to have a higher fee and tack on a % to maintenance which always irked me.Exit Realty, Matchmaker tend to have lower fees compared to the larger brokerages and may not tack on a % to the maintenance fee.Gore Rabbell is another one to investigate.If you send me a PM I can give you more candid feedback. 

What does it include - attorney time drafting, recording fees, time/fee to record the deed? 

I have read J L Collins simple path to wealth and he recommended vtsax because of the fees being incredibly low.
