The situation allows for an excellent opportunity to work with a property manager and build trust.I am looking to gradually build and scale my real estate portfolio in Atlanta by purchasing one property each year.

As far as benefit to the seller goes, @Matthew Paul I think you are probably right on the money and regardless of whether they would have preferred to stay in this house rather than move, it is likely providing them some excellent cash flow; and I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a deal that serves both parties better than the current situation. 

You are likely overpaying by $5,000.Broker fee of $3,000 and Processing Fees of $2,000 seem out of place...but then again, i never used a broker to get a loan so I am not sure about that.If the broker was able to get you an interest rate or loan product that you wouldn't be able to find on the open market...its high, but likely fair.if you are getting a loan product that you could have gotten by going to a normal bank...seems high and unnecessary. 

Credit reporting is a no-brainer, and Baselane is excellent for releasing it!

They have very professional products, usually for less than $10 and with instructions on how to use the product.
