Closing costs vary depending on state, credit score, and loan size but on a 30 year don't be surprised to pay 1 point if financing 85%. 

My tenants know I am the owner, and everyone either emails/call/texts me whatever is convenient for them as some are not as tech savvy as other.

@Shaun Reilly I just noticed that about the REIA 2% program - I was really surprised to get a $25 GC when I'd only had a handful of purchases that quarter.

too bad they're efficient in your area ;-).I've wholesaled a bunch of vacant lots in Atlanta and was very pleasantly surprised when I didn't have to pay those old liens

This is a great thread, I just set mine up last week and got a decent lead off of 6 clicks or so and looked at my market and its pretty wide open for organic searches, which surprises me here in the ATL as competitive as it is around here.I've done some adwords stuff before, but its been a while...just reading this thread has made me rethink some things.

I just looked through the 4155 Hud FHA guild-lines and I didn't see anything to confirm that but heck as much and often as things change in lending I wouldn't be surprise.

The $55 it cost you for the fix is not large but it is not convenient by any means either.

If that's clear then the owner should in no way be surprised if the option is not exercised.
