Buyers Want More Than a Pretty HouseSan Diego buyers are discerning, and they don’t just want a house that looks nice—they want one that functions well and reflects their lifestyle.

LENDBASE has the following feesConventional:1% origination fee$500 doc fee (est)Title Work TBDAppraisal $2000-$3000Environmental $0-$2000 (depending on search) Which all seem pretty normal, but FIRST they require you pay them up front $4,000.00 to start brokering loans, it’s their "non-refundable engagement fee.”Has anyone ever heard of this ever?

You are normally dealing with an individual who knows a good bit about how the industry works.

Is it for a shorter length term than the normal 30 yr?

Curious if this is normal practice or in other management agreements people have signed? 

This just sounds like a normal B2B relationship w/ the brokerage.

If you are simply buying for a lifestyle investment, then you have much more leeway in what/where you might consider buying.

Likewise, title companies are next once the block chain network is finally set up and normal in our country.

A little bigger than normal I guess lol.

I specialize in portraits... so, headshots, family portraits, lifestyle and branding content, boudoir, and anything else where humans are photographed.
