The appliance guy will likely charge you trip fee, plus hourly rate plus most likely overcharge you for parts.

., any charges they add that may not apply to me, or any overcharging on things that should cost less.Here are some line items:Loan Handling Fee - $675Settlement/Closing Fee - $675Appraisal Fee - $425Title Insurance - $353Owner's Title Insurance - $374Recording Fees - $119Courier/email/wire fee - $30.00Credit Report - $18Flood determination fee - $7.00If this is typical, I'm happy to move on and accept it as a cost of doing business.

The potential for poor quality work, overcharges or other unforeseen events lead me to do a lot of things myself (along with the classic justification to buying power tools -- "if I do it myself it pays for the table saw/nail gun/laser level/impact driver" -- signs of a power tool addict.)

Jermaine,Most landlords will used their in-house crew to repair and charge outside rates which in Texas that will come back to bite you in the rear if the tenant think you over charge him/her.

In this case his profit is attached to the company's therefore he'll do everything in his power to make sure we're not being overcharged.

Knew where to find a lender who would lend in Springfield on a property needing rehaband a whole bunch of other stuff that may or may not have cost him more time, effort and knowledge.By the time you learn all of these things, you might not think you were overcharged.

This is not lawful to over charge and or willy nilly a bill to any person on any level of business.Even if the lease is changed to a specific utility to be now paid by the tenant then there definitely needs to be meters to show individual usage.Not sure why my complex is on a boiler system but the lease always stated they pay for gas and water due to the system they have.

Slumlords, they rent trash or they overcharge for the property or both.If someone doesn't have the means for decent housing, send them to the housing authority or non-profit housing providers instead of preying on them.

You are lucky you are not here in Dallas, and if you were and the tenant said you over charge you would be standing before a judge.This is my experience.Joe Gore

If the house needed no rehab I would be questioning the 15% overcharge.
