I think you're right, this company is way out of their depth.

If a new investor needs help learning what to look for in a house I can do a live skype session and point things our for $80. simple questions I answer for free more in depth problems I will talk someone through it and charge a consultation fee.

If the property is close to your criteria at that point you can get more accurate numbers for an in-depth analysis.

But since he had to put in several hours of additional time and effort over and above the norm over the course of many weeks to get the title to a place where it could be considered marketable, I did not consider this to be unreasonable.Without some extenuating outside circumstances like this, I find it difficult to think of a scenario where you should be paying $3,500 in closing costs or over $1,750 in attorney fees, even if this included the title insurance premium on a more expensive property and a couple of 'junk' fees (IE - copy fees, toner charges, courier or carrier pigeon fees, etc).But again, if you'd like a more in depth analysis, you'd need to give us a line item breakdown of each fee.If you'd like a recommendation for another closing attorney in the area that should charge you considerably less, feel free to PM or email me.

I have looked thoroughly at the property on Portland maps and also know the property in depth personally.

@Joe Splitrock thank you so much for the in depth comment.

Ok I’m just getting to the part of Dave Van Horn’s book where he explains institutional notes in depth.

If you do the lease option I recommend that you: A) require an option payment, the bigger the better B) Do an in depth background check on the tenant/buyers, and then listen to your gut.

Just that, I thought for me to be a successful investor I better obtain a license and understand the in-depth details (and secrets) of the RE World.

When they ask about the utilities in depth...that's always a flag.
