All being said I went one where members who are professionals I checked out their credential and licenses.

What is the typical finding fee for professionals (lawyers, CPAs, consultants, etc.) that find investors to join my group?

I did make assumptions on insurance but I feel that $800/year is very low and that you would have 5% of rent in lawn care, professional fees for tax software and other, and a small budget for small repairs. 10% for property management is the norm until you are managing 5+ properties then you can start to get some breaks.I hope that you are able to make this work for you but it will be tight even with your 30% down payment which is a lot of cash to tie up.

If anyone here has cracked CL flagging (I think I've tried it all over the years), please PM me.3. brokers and their agents cast a much wider net when looking for tenants, as they're advertising other similar apts in the same area and/or price range, and can thus bring you customers who initially inquired about another property.

Depending on where this is, you could be dealing with "professional" renters. 

When asked, she said she didn’t think it would make much of a difference and would likely cost us more in professional fees for her to use that election.  

BiggerPockets has a wealth of information at your disposal, so be a sponge and soak it up.Second, I would consider joining a real estate investment club in your area so you can network with other investors and real estate professionals local to you.
