Need a binder and a paid receipt or confirmation that it will be escrowed prior to CTC.  800 - 2k depending on property and location.CDA - This is an audit of the appraisal to check to make sure the value is there. 

My goal of course, is financial independence as soon as possible. 

Quote from @Jeff Nash: Take a look at Independent Financial.  

It would be smart to do a full lease audit, estoppels issued, and tenant interviews.And if you are buying cash, there is nothing mandatory, since it is your money at risk. but again, physical condition inspections, understanding of tenants (they are a great source of information about issues with the property that the landlord may not know or may not disclose), surveys to understand accurate property lines, etc.

This is easy to explain and I think it would be helpful for the public to understand that agents are typically independent contractors and not employees, and that their brokerage actually receives the commission, not the agent.

I’m an independent and licensed real estate broker in Tulum, and after analyzing the performance of numerous properties, I can confirm what Mike is saying.

That will allow the CFPB to investigate your loan and then others through a QC or audit if they feel its a recurring complaint.If you find yourself in need of advice or want to talk about anything related to multifamily rentals purchase or refinance please feel free to reach out. 

I'd like to put as much as I can to work in order to reach financial independence sooner. 

Investors should therefore exercise significant care when choosing their Qualified Intermediary because of the critical role the company will play in the administration of their 1031 Exchange transaction.It is extremely important to note that 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediaries are generally not required to be licensed, regulated, audited or otherwise monitored by any regulatory body.

I have a few vendors that I paid over $600 for services that were independent contractors and wanted to know the process for taxes.
