Those fees all sound within reason but it's definitely in your best interest to interview several property managers.

Buzz feed and MSN just haven't interviewed them). 

If you read Chad Carsons book Retire Early with Real Estate he interviews almost 1000 early retirees.

Reassuring hearing a voice of sanity from another hands-on guy recognizing that something isn't as easy as it looks at first glance.

I interviewed 3 agents first then picked one to use.

@Julie VerardiThere are a couple challenges with investing in Co-ops in NYC.1) The bylaws may forbid you to sublease or require you living in the property for a period before subleasing it.2) The Co-op may charge you a sub-lease fee in addition to monthly maintenance3) The co-op may require that they have to interview your tenant before they can move in.4) The co-op at anytime can require you to make a payment for any special assessments they plan to build upon.Pro is that the Co-op will take care of all exterior repairs like common areas, roofs, repairs.Co-ops are also cheaper than their condo counterparts.

Originally posted by @Tanya Lechner:Hi Jason, as Chuck mentioned, it is very difficult to get valid information based on a zip code alone. 78255 is fairly even across the area, but 78205 is not. 78299 is not actually a recognized zip code to San Antonio residents.

Interview them. 

I said hi to you last week at NHREIA but I am pretty sure you didn’t recognize me.

Just heard a podcast interview with Dave Van Horn and he said PPR has been using FCI as well.
