My closing costs were:Origination - $1227Appraisal - $495Credit Report - $20Title services and title insurance - $750Tax Service Fee - $75Consultant Fee - $430 (loan was a purchase + rehab loan, this is the fee for company that services the rehab draws).Government Recording Charges - $143Total = $3140Without consultant fee = $2710.I would say that you are getting overcharged.

When you are outgoing and helpful, you will stand out and draw people to you.

I have WAY more money to draw on then deals, and it is because 90% of the who-haws that claim to be able to bring deals, bring nothing or over priced junk.

To draw on a loose paraphrse from the Corinthian's, I was knocked down but I was not destroyed.

I even have my attorney draw up my lease purchase agreements.

That's putting a dent in my funds as I had planned to use that to buy supplies, and pay the contractor to start the work to get me to the first draw.

All warm weather areas AND a great draw for my generation.

It was a disaster with kids drawings all over the wall, the floors a mess as if they were housing animals and 10's of thousands in damage to the property that was beyond the norm.One other thing to keep in mind, they won't report issues of maintenance to you such as leaks - they don't want to risk interacting with people.

My questions are, I know I need a good lease, and should I have a lawyer draw that up for me?

Have a lawyer draw up the ownership documentation for the business including the succession plan if people expire.When you purchase the home, the Title of the home would be put in the business name.
