Not sure why you'd be submitting offers through an attorney for something like this, unless we're talking about a bulk package or a really large deal that would start with an LOI and some more formal negotiations.Can you provide more info on the situation?

I currently use the "Real Estate Business Management" package.

First if the country has appointed Apostilles then you will sign in front of a notary from the country you are in and then take that doc to the apostille at the local court house and have them verify and sign off on all documents and then you send that full package to US title company handling the transaction.If it is a country with no Apostilles(not all countries have them), then you will need to sign docs at Embassy which means needing an appointment in advance which can be tricky.

Here are a few pros and cons:PROS-Can charge more via a Tech Package, this can include TV as well.

We're seeing an unfamiliar clause and wanted to verify that we're not making a mistake.The broker asks for a $500 fee (they say they reserve the right to retain/charge in its discretion, in any non-closing event to cover for its services).Is it common for a broker to ask a $500 fee out of the EMD in case we back off the offer?

I would verify the package they're selling you.

We have enough income but how much discretion does an FHA underwriter have?

There are multiple options available for screening packages; tenant involvement/no tenant involvement, instant reports, hand-compiled reports, and even income verification.You can find further information by going to Tenant Screening under the Tools tab.Best of luck to everyone!

There is more to a loan package than a mortgage and note (such as personal guarantees, assignments of rents, enviro indemnifications, etc. etc.). 

If your business needed to ship a package, would you hire FedEx as an employee or pay the fee they quote you for the shipment and log the receipt?
