I used to use Equity Trust, but the fees are ridiculous.

sarcasm: check the local adverse possesion laws :)Seriously: if it looks like you could strike a deal with him, split or cover the locksmith fee with him to have keys made (by his request).

How does the company deduct their fees, and how much do they charge for their service?

B is not mentioned at all, nor is the $100,000 wholesale fee.

Now I am communicating with a mortgage lending company that is offering what is seemingly high rates.  5.75% with $1,240 lender fees. 

I negotiated and we bumped up association fees but it's not enough, growing to slow to cover the repair. 

@Joshua Penners  If the tenants have signed previous leases and had uninterrupted occupancy of the property and continue to pay rent per the terms of the previous lease and their actions are consistent with the previous lease terms (for instance you have a $50 late fee in a previous  ease and they pay that now even though technically there is no new signed lease) then just about any court will deem them to still be subject to the terms of the lease signed or not .

Or do you just have them pay the application fee prior to viewing?

Property is located in the Spring, Texas area List Price $155,000Taxes $4,279/YRRent: $1,550-$1,600We would be putting 20% downInsurance: $1,100Potential Neighborhood fee of $100. annuallyIn my calculation I figured in Property Management (5%) we plan on managing it ourselves but felt we should still build that in.  10% for Vacancy and 5% for Repairs monthly.

What does it mean when a counteroffer says this from the listing agent: "Buyer shall be credited $10k for escrow fees and other fees."
