Our contractor partner has a deeper connection in that town and has a better idea of which broker/agent is the right choice. 

So, to compound a death in the family, and to manage an estate sale, greedy Heirs, and the fear of making the right choice need that extra special attention.   

It's a privilege one earns from hard work, tenacity and bit of luck.Simple choice: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.P.S.

The choice is to to save myself some grief bending the thicker cable, $30 for the difference in price, and explaining a simple return to HD (when I shell out as much as I do with my local store every year), or cutting it close with an 8000-watt appliance in a basement.Going with the 6/2.

Are they good choices?

Go with your gut, it is a very poor choice for a income investment property....major negative cash flow.Sell.

I think you are making a great choice with Detroit area.

I have 2 choices: 1) Pony up the $3,000 out of MY pocket to get the job done (I don't need to bring this money to closing, but I do need to demonstrate to the HML lender that I have the funds to make it happen), or 2) Simply adjust my budget down by $3k.Let's say that the lender charges the following:3% origination fee ($65K *.03) = $1,950Appraisal Fee - $500 Pro-rated Interest (one month) - $380 Title Search / Title Insurance - $175 Pro-rated Property Ins. - $100 Pro-Rated Taxes - $400 Settlement Fees - $400 Recording Fees - $100 Wholesale fees (if applicable) - $500 Since "No Money Down" is not an option, I'll will need to pay these fees up-front in order to get my $65,000.

Good luck in making your choice!!
