As far as you and I discussing the this, I was hoping we would have discussed every page in detail on the offer and this would have been discussed but when we got to doing the offer it all went fast and we never discussed it or other items at all or at length.I did ask my broker as mentioned if I could pay on your behalf and she said I couldn’t let me ask her another way if I don’t put on contract paperwork and then pay them directly it wont seem like I am paying it at the closing table.Its like when the bank charges you to hold your money with a monthly feeAnd I give them 26 % of the commission, so something to think about in the future with me and ***** doing our own thing versus having a big time real estate name behind us and big time fee’s to pay themDoes her response match with standard industry practice or should I push back on what in her own words is a 'bogus fee?'

But I could be wrong and your criteria might not match mine.If you really want a frightening picture just head to the city hall in downtown :-)  In my opinion it's like some of the worst parts of Oak Cliff and the Fair Park area if that can draw a comparison for you.

You set key words and have it email you the postings when they match.

Then you need to check in the marketplace where they want to be and see what rates are expected with someone of their level of risk as a tenant.If those do not match up you need to have a meeting with your borrower and explain why they will not get XX rate because that is reserved for national tenants, larger spaces, etc.If this is a borrower start up with limited assets and income and a new business that is the most riskiest of all and the landlord will want a lot of security to take a chance on them.

One building the paint had to be custom made to match the original that was used, even though the entire surface was being repainted.Now, you can have land registered and not an improvement, such as a historic site, Ben Franklin once spit here, and there may not be a restriction to improvements as they may have been built after the fact.The due diligence is why is it on the register, what is included, what organization had it placed on the register, who are they, what are their requirements or standards, how do they approve work and what continued oversight will they have from then on?

For a rental that had a blue tub (and some older blue tile floor) I found a really nice blue/gray tile that matched the tub and put that in.

Your expectations don't match reality if you're thinking you can buy a residence with nothing down.

New lighter (off white) floor yes.If that counter top isn't damaged I'd leave it and match floor to it.

@Steve Babiak In the First Niagara case, the bank had notice in the Citibank case the bank did not have notice, BIG distinction.

3) If I can, I still have to get a loan of about $93K to match 1031.4) If I buy HMP at $197,500, what does the cash flow look like?
