I am out of state investing in the Cleveland market and I have a property I'm looking to close on!

Some brokerages use unlicensed assistants to answer the phones (which, at least in NJ, means all they can do is take a message if somebody is calling about a property), but then there is a fee applied to all agents to basically cover that expense.Definitely look closely at what is your bottom line yearly amount of fees/dues. 

Because, you as the buyer will want written confirmation at closing that what's written in the lease is what is really taking place.

I'm not sure which market you're in, but the clients I've worked with that have existing loans/leases on their solar panels have a headache when it comes time to close. 

The sister will rent out the rooms to help and her cost of living will be close to none!

I usually suggest new property owners setup a business before they even close on a property and then use a business credit card for all expenses moving forward and also for them to link it to Quickbooks so everything is automatically tracked for them.There are a lot of nuances and strategies but this is a 30,000 foot view of why you should opt for business>personal

They selected a So Cal title company and a escrow company and said it's too late to change now since we are going to close on Monday.I am purchasing this house by cash, and I see they listed the lender's title insurance for $1650.

I am closing tomorrow on a property that I am purchasing for $60k and am getting a loan for $48k.  

In this particular example we put the deal under application underwriting to a HUD exit with a great execution bridge lender who we have closed with in the past.

I have a force placed insurance policy now in place to cover.This sale closed in early Feb 2024.
