I get a lot of spam calls and property calls so I totally get it.

With higher interest rates mortgage payments are obviously higher.

Honestly the high fees combined with lack of transparency and high appraisal costs, a whole month of UW (longer than normal), etc. would make me want to switch lenders right away because IME the lenders with high fees and high appraisal costs who drag their feet like this also tend to be the ones to continue delaying, have things get stuck in underwriting, say one thing while delivering another, have poor communication especially between UW and origination, bad customer service, can't close when they say they will, etc. and it can be a total nightmare. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Additionally, it can help maximize renovations and improvements.20.83% of the total depreciable basis was classified as 5-year class life.

I'm looking to do a blanket refinance of my current rental portfolio of 6 units (8 doors total) to access equity. 

It gives a total LIVABILITY score for each zip code and neighborhood. https://www.areavibes.com/

So is the idea have the total rent be the rent plus prior years usage (one statement that says $755), or give them a statement that says $700 rent + $55 heat hot water?  

It makes total sense and I will give it a try.  

In general totally maximizing the outdoor space.
