Acquisition Fees

I know that GP’s ask for 0.5% to 2% on acquisition fees for large institutional deals. Obviously the larger the less the fee but I am looking at a deal where it is purchasable at around $4M. At this level, is it common for GP’s to ask for acq fees? If so what is an appropriate fee? This is my first time potentially buying a deal and wanted to know what people have seem in the past. I know there is no norm in the business world, but wanted to know what was acceptable for a deal that size?

Additionally, what are some deal terms for a deal this size? what are your hurdles, if any? Or just keep a simple structure?
