Can you say how much they were I don’t want to be over charged on an 8 plex im closing on soon.

I also worked with Empire Property Management, their sister company, which ripped us off on the PM aspect of the business by frequently and overcharging us on many maintenance requests (they have their in-house contractors).

Not just that but making up non existent maintenance repairs and 5x overcharging.

I rehabbed 3/8 units throughout this time and even got overcharged. 5 units remained to be rehabbed. 

However having said all of that I don't think this is an excuse to overcharge for stuff or find ways to nickel and dime tenants to squeeze extra profits out of a tenant.

@Jacques Villars 2% can exist in rougher areas with S8 vouchers and tenants who can contribute additionally to that rent OR if you are close to a military base or university where you can overcharge students

I agree that it shouldn't be that much, but you know contractors overcharge when they are dealing with out of state investors.

If you take the time to learn the sales will happen and you won’t have to overcharge anyone to make a dollar.It's not the appraiser's fault.

I live in a coastal market so perhaps everything in the Midwest seems reasonable to me, but I have never felt overcharged.  

If you have a dispute over charges, withhold payment until you work through the issue.
