Typically the people that do this are called consultants and will charge an hourly figure, plus travel time, of course.

the issue is that the contract has a 'time is of the essence' clause in it, w/ a per diem of $100 per day to be charged to the buyer should the closing be delayed.

When I buy a building I ask my electrician to do a safety check. he charges me a service call fee to come out +/- $85.Lord knows the previous owner who was probably a DYI weekend hero or worse yet a FLIPPER cut corners.

And I can say that they were not worth the money they charge.

thankyouverymuch....SAVING $$540.00 per year.7- Closing accounts with banks that charge fees for banking (scanners, usage fees) and going to a CU for FREE checking/savings...SAVING $$1200.00 per year8- Magic Jack (i havent done it yet but i have only heard good things) SAVINGS $$1200.00Just by doing/not doing these things MY business will save a WHOPPING $62,640.00 DOLLARS!!!

I've never charged these fees, but I've only done short sales where I either bought, or walked... until recently.

Had he paid $80k that would have been the fair market he would have had a loan at a much higher rate than I charged due to his poor credit.

I would appreciate confirmations that this is how it should go for 2008 tax purposes.If I have no luck finding tenants in late 2009 (hope that isn't the case), I wonder if I could rent the home to relatives at a fair market rent (same as I would charge any tenants) and still do my taxes as I would with any tenants?

How can this manufactured crisis be endlessly debated by the people that were in charge without a single person losing their liberty or their life for these egregious actions against the entire country?
