My contract with them has $1000 fee for breaking early.

Fees will run anywhere from $600 - $1,000.If you add the interest and fees just as part of your cost and it still looks like a good deal, then do it.

By the time your unit is rented, you have now saved a lease up fee due to your property manager of likely $600-$800.  

I will assume your cash flow projections are good and include cap ex, maintenance, vacancies, PM fees, miscellaneous, etc.Selling gets you virtually $0 so in effect you have $0 invested. 

That to me is well worth paying a small fee to have a professional manager with experience do on my behalf.

I say this because the obvious reasons house hacking is attractive- but especially for vets because you can use your VA Loan to secure a great loan with possibly nothing down and a better interest rate- you can also have the funding fee waived if you, again, have any % disability which is great because that means no PMI and no funding fee- and finally you could do all that potentially without having to pay any property taxes.

I have been told I need to pay Parkland fee $4850.  

Willing to do a flat fee listing agreement.

The loan balance plus legal fees, penalties, & interest are typically added to the loan. 

Our E&O insurance is covered by a transaction fee we pay which is reasonable.
