The hard money loans that I've been looking at require a sizeable amount of down payment as well as charging several points and other fees.

Its my understand that the hard money lender is usually the one with little risk because they usually charge lots of points and high interest.

For example, many companies will charge you for full color on both sides of a postcard, but you really only need two colors on the address side of the card.

The additional $5K the contractor charged you is what could be called sweat equity.

-What is the most you would be willing to pay for a search if: You were guaranteed that they would find the person or that you would not be charged if there were no results?

[size=18][i][b]What about the travel claim office's requirement to charge "fair market rent"?

For example, if you charge $1500/month with $500 rent credit, the tenant would receive $500/month toward down payment if exercisting the purchase option - in essence this means that they were effectively paying only $1000/month during the rental period with a "forced" savings plan to help with the down payment.

I checked the bill and there is a gas delivery charge of 160 dollars.

Now they are focusing their attention on other investors home buyers, not just in the san antonio area, but seemingly all over the U.S.I hear that they charge quite a bit for their bus tours, and it's my personal opinon, being in the investing business, that courses, mentoring, and bus tours are not needed to become successful in the investor home buyer arena.

There will be no labor charges, just materials.
