Now there is a new set of junk fees.On my last two transactions escrow companies have tried to charge me $190 for Polar CMC inc. and $65 to Escrow Stream.

Fair warning, when you see the rivers, streams, valleys and Tablerock lake you might just get addicted. :-)Tim

One merely needs to learn how to tap in.Two Shoe Salesmen were flown to a foreign country to develope a new market and revenue stream.

I called the Realtor and he gives me the spill it's in move in condition, and just by judging the picture on the MLS it needs roof, siding painted, landscaping.

Changing criteria in mid stream is the number one mistake of landlords that do some real screening. 

Like I said, I have not too much cash on hand ($10,000) to pay closing and various fees, good credit, but poor work history as of recent (albeit at this point, I'll have a steady stream of income, just a new one).

Basically, I'm trying to learn more about the barriers to ownership in this realm and how to overcome them.About my real estate goals,  I plan to buy at least 2 acres of land, build a SFH homestead with added value revenue streams, such as event hosting and vacation rental by end of 2016.

In any case, when you first encounter them, get your phone out and say, "This inspection is being recorded and streamed to the cloud."  

A nice B&H income stream is the ultimate goal here, and long term increase wealth with the B&H assets I plan to buy.My question to the BP Nation is:Which is more important when seeking external funding to fund flips and buy and hold.

Our walls needed a couple patches from drunken shenanigans and the carpet had plenty of beer spilled into it, but those are relatively cheap and easy things to fix.
