In my assessment, I have realized that I need a transactional real estate attorney, someone who charges a flat rate for closings, etc.  

@Jeremy JacksonIf you have an agent, you could ask if they would be willing to do the paperwork on the transaction for a flat fee.

As for leasing fees, the industry standard in our area is 1/2 of first month's lease and a flat rate management fee for month-to-month management.

If it produces more energy than it consumes then the building is Net positive - though Net Zero is too frequently used as a blanket term to cover both these cases.Ironically, Net Zero does not automatically imply higher energy efficiency - there are several examples of commercial buildings with large expanses of flat roofs (i.e. warehouse) which are net positive, despite the building itself being horribly inefficient.Building standards in North America are woefully outdated on matters of energy efficiency.  

Thanks Miss Hooks-Bell, I appreciate the help! 

Flat tax when Forbes ran for pres.. is the answer everyone .. corp what have you pay 10 to 15%.. at that rate I would save a ton of dough.the average 50k a year earner would pay less etc.

Both provide good service as custodians and have flat fee-per-service models, rather than a percentage of account value, which makes much more sense for what you are doing.

@David Bell I have had some success in buying lots for $5000-$10000.

I am unsure of how long that usually takes I would say 4 to 6 weeks at max (but hopefully 4 weeks.. 30 days)  depending on how busy the firm is.. and make the offer contingent on clearing that reportAlso what is a customary emd for listed land.. a certain % of the contract price or a customary flat number  (like.. 10k).Thnx

I live in Spartanburg and this property does not ring a bell. I
