Not to mention their ludicrous fees. 

Has anybody dealt with Investors Edge and gotten 100% financing after paying $3995 membership fee?

Install cameras and exterior lighting on timers, place no trespassing signs, and place items that indicate occupancy - like a BIG dog bowl near the front door, shoes, etc. 

The interest rate and loan term remain unchanged.Fees: Most lenders charge a fee for recasting, typically ranging from $100 to $500.

Quote from @Edward Toomey V: I switched from Quickbooks to RentRedi 5 months ago because the payment processing fee cost me $400 a month with Quickbooks.

You can negotiate a flat fee, or percentage of their profit of any deal. 

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

We set the purchase price at about 10% higher than todays value and we don't have to pay for realtor fees or closing costs when we go to sell the property.

having a local commercial Banker is key I would never go with a national HML for construction.. unless I absolutely had to .. like right now I am at 1/2 point and 7%  for my vertical loans no junk fees and my bank even pays or the appraisals . :)  these are not credit score loans ( I mean I have a credit score) but thats just a formality its all about capital and relationships with your bankers and deposit relationships thats key as well.Yes your relationships with sub contractors will be a huge factor in profitability, both direct and indirect. 

Or just pay your sister a finders fee for getting the deal?
