Sounds like I'm paying an additional .375% and it's out of my control. 

I will strongly consider it as an addition or change to my lease.

All the income through the duplex is untouched other than going toward expenses as it is solely being used as a retirement investment as will additional real estate purchases.

The context being today's market.Assumption: the new asset would be in addition to your existing positive cash flowing portfolio.Requirement: the new asset’s cashflow cannot be negative.  

@Jay Helms yes for sure , whats the facebook page i’ll add it

.- use the attorney at title and add it to the HUD-1We use a clause in the note that waives the right to defend a foreclosure in default, so the property returns to the seller without contest (varies from state to state I imagine)We also pay the sellers closing costsAll of this stuff is negotiable...you can always push things with these...like lower the down payment and have the buyer pay all your clients fees and your commission, etc.Give me a shout if you want to chat more about this topic.

They wanted me to pay off $14,000 of debt which i did but when I walked away from the closing table I paid a total of $12,746 in additional closing fees.14,000:Debt$12,746: Closing cost on new houseTotal cost: $26,977Netting me only $2,400 from both closes.I felt like putting my head through the wall as the information I was given from my loan officer was nothing close to what happened.

Additional questions:1.

In addition to the mini storage units, there are 11 spaces in the rear measuring approximately 12'x35' which can be leased for boat, RV, and vehicle storage.
