Or, the selling price may be low enough and even under the appraised price so that the lender ends up covering all closing costs.They may even cover the down payment if the price is right.Your share of closing costs.This can include things such as points to the lender, documentary stamps, recording fees, appraisal fees, survey costs, prorated taxes, insurance, and part of the next house payment.Often many of these fees are negotiable between the buyer and seller.Remember: There is no such thing as a “customary” fee that you alone are responsible for.Everything in a real estate deal is negotiable.Whatever you and the other party agree to, or do not agree to, is entirely up to the two of you.I have personally acquired homes where I agreed to cover closing costs because of a very low purchase price, or I have negotiated closing costs that I knew my buyer would cover.

She doesn't have a car and takes the bus to work, I pay the water for the apartments, and she gets food stamps.

Time and date stamps are at your fingertips rather than having to choose a menu option to get this information.

There is no Federal agency (yet) mandating date & time stamps on rental applications.

And, food stamps.

It also allows a time-stamp of the tenant seeing the lease, which ends up as an attachment and a permanent record of the transaction. 

I can only cut so much in stamps, paper, toner, etc. 

Ask your tenant directly, or get photographs of the vehicle with time stamps.  

Im sure the chicago mafia could put a stamp on it if you get in a bind.
