-I have a lawyer that is charging a reasonable flat fee for closing the deal...I wonder if a title search on my end ($250 maybe) will save me the flat fee that my lawyer will ask for, in case that the deal will be a no go due to some other findings.Looking for advice and tips since this is my first transaction of this type.

Even within the MLS options, there are flat fee options, and I thought it would be interesting to discuss.My point of view: using an agent will get you faster results, more eyes on the property, more offers, better marketing, and save you the time of having to host showings.Let's have fun!

Each month, my LLC pays me personally a flat market lease rate.

@Alex Fountain @Doniel WinterTo add to Doniel's stats, in the Western Region, ADR has actually been rising YoY for the last seven years, but it went flat this year. 

Good Luck Chris I am a new member as well and my  first post is forthcoming today.I am currently house-hacking a 2 flat in Chicago but I moved from a 2Bd/Bath townhouse that I am trying to rehab to get more liquidity.

There is also a seperate 1 bedroom granny flat with its own driveway and yard. 

Purchase price: $265,000 Cash invested: $2,500 Beautiful rehabbed 2 flat.

I have personally used them several times, I believe he also has an attorney, Ashley Wilson, that can assist you with pulling title/docs etc for a flat fee.I have no association with the company but can vouch for Joe, he was my mentor when I first started and we have become friends.Mark https://investorstitleservicesllc.com

It costs less than an appraisal (which I would spring for if you have the funds and honest intent to price it right) and is paid by a flat fee, not a commission.

Mathew when I was active buying foreclosures in Portland I used an eviction service they were very good flat rate.. and knew their stuff would never attempt on my own..
