I learned how to do many repairs myself, I showed all the homes myself, and I made it work.

I've seen folks charge as high as $5,000 to $10,000 for tax planning and tax preparation, But i also know high quality folks that have fees are around $1,200 to 2k.

Do you offer 80% LTV on the full appraised value or is it limited to purchase price + repairs completed? 

Washer/dryers are often abused, so there's the initial cost of purchase and the risk of increased repairs.

The house was flooded to the tune of $70,000 in repairs. 

The Only other deductions that I have right now are $154 for unpaid water bill, and $45 for the minor repairs mentioned (doorbell, blinds, shower).Questions for the group:Does $540 seem excessive for a cleaning charge, given the situation?

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

The biggest thing to me is buying in quality areas that will increase in value over time.

Most quality markets worth investing in for the long-term are seeing 0.50% or below.

We charge 10% and we pride ourselves on quality service.
