Due to some recent theft at one of the buildings, I want to install some cloud based video cameras, while keeping the monthly expenses as low as possible.

Do you have to pay a fee to the broker, because their not making their money, if the T/B isn't going through them and simply referring the T/B to you (for the LO)? 

If Landlord exercises Landlord's Termination Option, and Tenant timely and properly surrenders the Retained Premises to Landlord on or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay the monthly installments of Monthly Base Rent and Deferred Monthly Payments that are due after the Termination Date."

You can almost certainly pay the appraisal fees at closing.

(At least $2,000/mo rent plus any HOA fees?)

Hi all -I am in the process of closing on my third property, which will be under management with the same company I have been with for years. I am currently paying 10 percent. I was considering asking for a reduction ...

No way I’d go under contract without $500-1000 option fee (on a small SFH) and at least 5-10k on a multiFYI I’m a Cali guy buying in Texas (Houston).

I don't know exactly how they operate, if I have to pay them a fee or as someone told me, the banks pay them.

3) Is there a usual or standard amount/percentage for the Option Fee, rent credits, and any other fees/charges?

Then hope they don't raise the HOA fees on you.
