Having some room for error is key when starting out.

To me, the fee should be listed after the "After viewing the property" section, but I'm curious how others would approach this.And because I'm super nitpicky about how things look, I would also note that the steps should be reviewed for grammatical errors, as it comes across less professional when it's not correct (i.e.

Hey I am a new RE investor. I am in the process of getting my first rental property under my belt and was wondering how did many of you go about dealing with contractors in the beginning? I am located in Springfield, ...

let alone you could access their cell phone.Be that as it may.. these are business guys.. write a letter of intent.. you dont need the picture and story I doubt that will curry favor.. just be professional and make sure some one proof reads your corrispondance you dont want grammer or spelling errors or not to sound professional.

I have learned what I know by trial and error, making mistakes, having sleepless nights and drained bank accounts.

You absolutely want title insurance and you want to use Your title co to issue it, not the selling lender’s.A number of things can pop up....some heir from the past had their signature forged, the foreclosing bank missed something in their foreclosure, some legal description error occurred somewhere, etc.

This also leads to good manners, when she wants something, and no accountability for her errors, which will continue.  

I know there has got to be a resource. and obviously I could google or toggle with Zillow and trulia, but there probably is an easier way, such a silly rookie I am.
