If the seller is carrying and not charging points (ie: directly profiting from the loan transaction itself) then it works.

There are always unexpected surprises.

We have a couple of consultants here, both consult the public and sort of a glorified real estate broker, but they also charge hourly fees in certain matters.

Sometimes they are easy to get released and sometimes not.My title and escrow companies don't charge me for title reports on cancelled escrows (but they would if I made a habit of canceling), so there would be no damages.

Around here they charge 10% of collected rents plus half a months rent to fill a vacancy.

None of their maintenance issues would have held up in court, except for the issue of some of the windows not locking, which absolutely should have been caught by the PM....who charged us to do a walk-through to make sure everything was up to code when we first hired them.

And I have a question about security deposits. 5321.16 Procedures for security deposits(A) Any security deposit in excess of fifty dollars or one month's periodic rent, whichever is greater, shall bear interest on the excess at the rate of five per cent per annum if the tenant remains in possession of the premises for six months or more, and shall be computed and paid annually by the landlord to the tenant.We're planning to charge $650 for rent and from what I've read, the security deposit should be about the same as one month's rent, so a $650 security deposit.

Maybe we'll bump into each other as the TC is notorious for providing unexpected meetups.

You want the interest rate to be equal to at least the applicable federal rate which is currently 2.5% or so.It could be different for an installment sale, but that is my understanding of what should be the minimum tax charged to avoid IRS tax implications.

The best credit repair companies out there is the ones that do not charge upfront fees.Joe Gore
