My neighboring state of MA is $500/year per LLC.Then it all depends on volume - more entities and trusts, more fees.But...first and foremost...start investing (if that is your plan), get good insurance, and then only add in complexity as needed. 

:P As an appraiser myself, I would probably charge a very high fee for this assignment, since it is pretty unique and complex.

This deal in particular caught my attention because of its complexity and strong selling potential.

It is mortgage fraud, you really don't want to land in court over that.

I am filing a claim with CSLB and approaching a small claims court.

We had to petition the court to get our money back since we had already paid it to the court the next day.  

I had a court date and the tenant removed within 3 weeks.

Lets say someone buys an apartment complex for 6 ml for cash.How much should they add for the closing costs if no loan needed?

We were particularly interested in this deal because it involved a light rehab, which is less complex and time-consuming compared to more extensive renovations.
