I was just curious to the terms that you got for your personal loan.The only issue with these are these will show up on your credit report, and increase your DTI ratio, but it is a good way of acquiring cheaper properties without awaiting the mortgage approval process.

If you have a real choice between a HML and a 203, you'll always take the 203 as it is MUCH cheaper.  

It's definitely cheaper than our local hard money lenders who charge more points and slightly more interest rates.Jean

But in many situations, companies do not need audits they can get a "review" or "compilation" which are much cheaper and much less risky for CPA firms.To answer your question, if someone were to propose this to me I would probably try to do some sort of flat rate pricing with some small variably depending on the documentation, journal entries, etc. 

In general its cheaper to pay hard money than to give up the equity that you will need to give up to a partner. 

I like to look in the cheaper surrounding suburbs for good deals.

. : ) Insurance companies make money by slow paying or no paying and also covering things that are likely not to go out or will be cheaper to replace.

Perhaps a cheaper alternative that I do not know about.

Also, with the many changes Google makes to their ranking algorithm, one of my sites had their rank drop so I started paying higher per lead, so I had to refine some things with onsite SEO and that corrected it and actually made some leads cheaper.

Might find them cheaper to some guy in a truck but what everyone said about warranty and it being done right the first time is correct.
