Hi @Grace Wang, make sure to get competing bids and really understand their fee structure.

I would be more worried that the deed or lien isn't already owned by an investor who is waiting for someone to do exactly what you are trying to do and collect his redemption fee.

The rate, fees, and term has also been established.

What do you do when a large investor in your market is discovered to have not disclosed material defects and hidden those defects?

Sell- After sales fees etc we will walk away with approx. $91K - Much less then the initial down payment and what we have paid since 2007.Keep renting - We are on the low end of rent still and could probably raise if another $25-$50 per month within the next year - other expenses - HOA- 1,120 annually ; Home Warranty - $755 annually  OR something else?

There are a lot of local nuances that only a local attorney would know, plus the fees are usually not high enough for an out of state attorney to even take the file.

I’d like to consider wire transfers, Venmo, PayPal Payments Advanced, etc. im wondering what others are using to avoid these high merchant fees.

A few responses stating that I can bring deals to investors and use the fee to invest with.

And house would be still cash flowing $160 a month at 89,000, even after taking off property management fees and all the other costs in the BiggerPockets rental calculator.The owner told us he would feel better giving us the house at $81k. $3,000 less than we offered.

Don't we lose profit when we keep refinancing to the bank fees?
