I do have a feeling that this will become more of a happy medium between my attorney and accountant then I will have to shop it to my insurance agent.

Do you have a good mortgage broker who can shop around to see what kind of financing might be available for your situation or do you need to stick with hard money? 

Greetings,I have recently been shopping for houses in an area where prices have been increasing quite significantly recently.  

There is such a wealth of insightful articles, podcasts and so many experienced forum users that BP has truly become my one stop shop for building my knowledge on RE investing.I was hoping I may be able to tap into the experience and knowledge of some of you guys about my own specific situation. 

You need to shop carefully for both - especially in today's lending environment.I have used Prime Lending- a multi-state mortgage broker (although I don't know if they operate in Georgia.)

@Dan Schwartz  I see a lot of huds in my work a day world... how lenders make up for safe harbor is junk fee's which they are not limited to.. most loans of this size will cost 4 to 5k to get funded... includes origination fee's and all the junk fees.I have not seen one under 3,600.00 total fees on the hud.. paid by buyer ... a lender simply cannot stay in business if they are not making 4 to 5k per file... they would close up shop and stop doing those loans if they could not generate that amount of revenue per file.
