How much is reasonable to pay if I plan to Buy & Hold?

Occupancy would be a huge red flag unless you can prove that there is a valid reason for the move such as a job change.

A non refundable option deposit of whatever reasonable amount someone is willing to pay in your market. 

I imagine it would take about two hours and $75 per hour seems reasonable. 

@Cole ShawdThis question is difficult to answer as we don't have all the information.There are a couple of reasons your CPA may have said what he said.1) You may be making over $150,000 and not eligible to utilize passive losses from your rental against your other income.

This seems odd unless there is a reason.

In that case, the agent took 20% - very reasonable IMHO, as she had to do a lot of the legwork (including finding a buyer and showing the property a couple of times), and for that, she ended up with just a couple of thousand bucks.  

Visited a year ago and would love to have a reason to deduct trips back :-)

No sane buyer would turn your offer down, assuming reasonable terms. 

No reason to have more than a stove and refrigerator in the unit .
