Most investors I speak with/assist feel like they over charge and under deliver.   

It will work out in the end despite the City overcharging us all along the way.

Make sure that you are not being over charged for closing costs.

They will give you the straight scoop without overcharging.

Appreciate the response Jason - makes sense now re: the prepaid insurance.Now I'm trying to get a sense of where I might be getting overcharged on the closing costs...I listed out quotes provided by two companies - quotes for one company vs. the other are separated by "vs":Lender Related charges- Appraisal fee - $475 vs $450- Credit report fee - $21 vs. $60- Flood certification - $8 vs $14- MERS - $12 vs $14- Processing fee - $400 vs. $450- Tax service fee - $94- Underwriting fee - $695 vs. $950- Government recording fee - $180 vs. $115- State tax / stamps - $923 vs $680TOTAL: ~$2800 for either lenderTitle charges- Title expenses (e.g. closing fee, title insurance, etc.) - $1580 vs. $1450I think I might be getting tripped up on what I'm counting as a "closing cost".

Sifting through Craigslist ads and replies to Craigslist ads, calling for estimates, following up on shoddy work, making sure I'm not being overcharged and making sure it's done the way I requested.

I am looking into setting up a Solo 401K for our LLC, but I want to make sure that we use a reputable company that doesn't over charge us.  

I'm trying to strike the right balance of someone not wasting time but also not overcharging for an application -> if I charge $25 for the application and TUSH charges $40 for the background screening, i could see an applicant shying away from that kind of entry "fee" or being genuinely upset if they aren't chosen from the get-go.

Minor maintenance could be major if it is fixed incorrectly or if the "great handyman" lies about what needs fixed and just overcharges you.
