There are also removable barrier fences and alarms that people use instead of permanent barrier fences.

I've had tax companies lie to me about this and I ended up wasting money on unnecessary entities.

In areas like Dallas or Fort Worth, I’ve seen professional cleaning range from $300–$600, especially when dealing with pet-related cleaning like removing cat hair from carpets.

I don’t have a problem paying a couple grand to remove some of the just figure it out stage of learning and utilizing expertise of people that already do it. 

People tend to waste a lot when everythings included, so this helps to avoid that problem.There are also companies out there that can install a meter in lieu of doing a full submeter to ascertain how much usage the unit is using monthly.

Seems like a big overkill - and to be blunt if you are new to real estate it is an overkill and a huge waste o f $

Waste of time.

I frequently see where one party is awarded the property and debt and is mandated to sell or refinance it within a certain timeframe to have the other party removed from the note/mortgage.

Removing all skills from the equation, if you don't take a break from participating as a real estate investor in some way each day, you will stay far ahead of everyone else who keeps subbing themselves out and then asking to get back in when the game is already out of reach.
