You can provide documentation or evidence that may support your case for a lower escrow payment.

I'd start by getting some kind of idea of what it would cost you to provide a driveway.

If it's $390 for a doorbell change, wired, all in... ummm... might be on the high-end but it's def. not 'gouging' and def. not unreasonable.... sorry I know it's not what you wanted to hear, again I encourage you to hire those services yourself and you will quickly realize that the trades will charge you the same or likely more, without providing you all the 'extras' like contacting your tenant, or accessing  your property on their own without you present and then locking up, posting it to your property account ledger, etc. etc. --- if they even take the small job at all.

Dodd Frank will apply...see below.Not More Than 3 Properties Exemption Any person or entity cannot provide seller financing to an owner occupant more than 3 times in a 12 month period without using a MLO (mortgage loan originator).

Regardless of the type of loan (Dutch or non-Dutch), HML’s only provide rehab funds for work completed after some kind of inspection (in-person, photos).

I do think the contractor who came in person seems like a trustworthy guy but it’s the first time I met him.Lastly, should I be the one to provide a contractor agreement for them to sign before getting this work done?

If that is what you mean, yes, the borrower must sign a letter allowing the servicer to speak to you and provide you information about the loan.

Contacts and partnerships: I need to build relationships with local investors, lenders and contractors and learn from them how the process works, who to go to for what and when as well as how I can help them reach their goals.Since my broker has done a few flips himself, he has provided insights and will continue to do so.

They include Comfort Inn, Country Inn, Extended Stay Suites, 2x Holiday Inns and Candlewood.Here's the total view of employers based on my research so far:- Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Some search results mention the high demand for traveling nurse housing in Cookeville, indicating that local hospitals and healthcare providers are a major source of furnished rental needs.- Manufacturing Companies: The City-Data forum post lists several major manufacturing employers in Cookeville, such as Fleetguard, Ficosa, and Tenneco.
