Average Sale Price for a single family home was way up, at 18.6%, in January 2016 when it was $263,728, versus $222,350 in January 2015.  

Also, my tenants, for the past 5 years or so, have all preferred paying rent using the electronic payment system I have set up.I am renting to a couple relocating from out of town for the first time ever.

So in those cases I ask for the full 3% to me and see what happens regardless of what the listing broker agreed to.Often the sellers will pay my fee to get the buyers.Some commercial developers the listing brokers take a smaller fee but the developer is constantly giving them property after property to sell versus a one off transaction.So if you are given 50 million to sell in a year for your side from one client where you make 2% and then give that or more to the buyer broker it looks different than getting 3% of one 3 million deal.

Take your list in and have them run it through their "quote support system" QSP.  

@Valerie Naglelooks to me like this is non-homestead taxes versus earlier taxes being homestead.  

@Clay Walker:  Are the MH's on a septic system or hooked up to a city sewer?  

We have a great Metro-parks system, excellent zoo and museum, and fantastic minor league sports teams (Toledo Mud Hens, Walleyes, a new minor league soccer team starting this year, and one of the oldest professional women's football teams).

My point is you may need to make some sacrifices for building systems which can result into lost tenant area and profit. 

Don't forget that you may also need to upgrade the smoke alarm system, which may need to be tied into the electrical system (hardwired) for a legal rental property

I would be so much farther ahead if I started with the systems and tools KW offers.
