If they say "it's to cover marketing" then I would argue they probably aren't professional and just charge it because they can.The leasing fee is charged per door, meaning you will pay it every time they place a tenant in one of your rentals.

I'm living and doing my research for the past 7 months for the Madrid market (and the area around it) - will be great do discuss with some members here and share our experience, toughs, etc.It will also be great to discuss the current market situation and share the news - do you think it is still a good time to get into the market?

Being upfront with clients and highlighting your strengths—like your market knowledge and dedication—can help minimize the impact of transportation issues.If you're concerned about the costs, maybe focus on building a client base close to home, where transportation won't be as big of an issue.

We will of course pay fair market rates.Thank you!
