I would gladly pay an extra $20-$25 a month pet rent but these pet fees and breed bans and charges are bs and an unnecessary added burden. 

Otherwise it's unnecessary. 

The Kansas City "Healthy Homes" measure is just the beginning of unnecessary regulation and taxation of rental property. 

So it's a completely unnecessary activity.

If you can avoid an unnecessary move or just settle your family now vs a few years from now, and do it with a low start up cost, doesn't that have value? 

Some banks make even that unnecessary as the December 31 statement will have it done for you!

Relying solely on a single lender or bank can pose significant risks, potentially leading to unnecessary expense, rejections or unexpected obstacles during the process. 

Otherwise, apart from the initial listing, they really don't have any other involvement in the transaction, and it shouldn't really make a difference who you use for that serviceYour commission offerings are definitely reasonable in my opinion, I would be happy with that if I were representing a buyer in your transactionOne thing to note is that agent's aren't just there to ensure you're complying with all legal processes and paperwork, they're also ensuring that you get top dollar for the property you're selling, and ensure that you're not giving out unnecessary concessions.

That seems unnecessary to me in your ARV range.Keep in mind I live in the Midwest and prices here are pretty reasonable.

I have a friend who is a loan officer explain that for the cashout refi I'd be paying $30k in unnecessary closing costs and losing a relatively good rate I currently have just to take cashout at 80% LTV, whereas just like others have posted here the closing costs for a HELOC are next to nothing, and you can get much closer to 100% LTV.
