If that property will only sell for 20K in your market, that is what it's worth, not a dime more.

Realtors are a dime a dozen, in today and out tomorrow.

At least a couple of years ago, that was the guideline.Its been 2 years since I was in the business, so you know how those guidelines can change on a dime at times.A good loan office can officially answer this question.

And I'll definitely be checking the nickels and dimes on my settlement statement from now on!

I want to be able to reach my manager within at least 24-48 hours (obviously weekends excluded unless emergency), be able to rent out my place in a decent timeframe, knows the market, experienced, sends me monthly statements in a timely manner, has a good business history/references and does not try to overcharge for repairs or nickle and dime me (administrative fees, filing fee, rent deposit fee) and so on.

No chance would i pay a dime.

Again, simply using the example above, it is easy to understand how excluding $10k of income can change your debt to income ratio which might cause a loan denial.If I had a dime for every 1003 I reviewed from the LO's that use to work for me who failed to properly identify property, which then usually means it defaulted to SFR, I would have a lot of dimes.

So Uncle Sam didn't get a dime!

Their first bid will seem high but they work fast and don't nickle and dime you.

Tightwad was one of my uncles, if he owed you a dime he would offer it but it was like trying to remove it from a vise when it was in his hand.
