What does this typically look like?

I am taking a loan of $280,000 but for some reason, the lender I am talking to is charging me about $6800 of lender fees in the closing costs quote that he provided, along with other overpriced charges that I have not received when I got a previous loan from a different lender in California.

The houses are warranted and easy to rent, no repairs will be needed in a while, sometimes the builder credits are good, plus they enjoy the appreciation that you receive from buying early in a community.

Typically we would make this type of contingency with a kickout clause...the time for notification and performance to remove the contingency. 

I have also used Zillow and received multiple applications through there, which seems to be a reliable resource.

Quote from @Cameron Iarrobino: A google search will typically point you in the right direction: https://masslandlords.net/laws/abandoned-property/I recommend reading several sources to cross-check.

Purchasing a new townhome and received the following as best so far:- 6.875% 7/1 ARM- 7.35% 30-year fixed I am aware of the risks with the ARM and plan is to either refi when (if) rates drop, or sell around year 5 (along with others I plan to purchase) to get into commercial or larger multifamily.

For our rentals, we typically end up with either Dent and Scratch appliances from the big box stores, or we go to Corn's appliance in Arvada.

It's great to know when the information I am receiving is solid👍🏻.

My wife and I decided that we would rent out the house but because we have received a grant for the down payment and closing costs from the city of Baltimore, we are wondering if it’s okay to rent out the property without any issues or they would check to see if we live at the property or we did a mortgage fraud by renting out the property for not living it for 7-12 months.
