Most likely I will need to partner with my Father (who has agreed to help, but won't give me a $ figure to work with.)I realize this is a broad question, and I'm asking retail brand new vs established seasoned property, however I feel like I will get some good answers from the community.Thank you for your time.Michael Renna

Their addendums are pretty broad as to ways they can stick it to you on the smaller things.  

My original goal was to allocate some savings towards rental property in order to generate passive income and (hopefully) achieve better returns than a broad stock market fund. 

This is a broad field and there is always opportunity.

On the other side of the spectrum, I have discovered that there a lot of entities out there that are only out seeking to deplete you of your money; I've met and worked with Guru's, attended seminars/boot camps, you name it.

Unless you're using a portfolio loan due to some exception you may need in your financing, I'd say it's safe to assume you'd get about 5.5% on the very high end of the rate spectrum.

Scope of work can be broad or very specific, i do not think they are specific enough to even generate specifications page.

The trick is, correctly identifying your properties along this spectrum!  

hi BryannaGlad to see your still following your dream.The title companies that are saying it's illegal are referring to the Dod Frank rules that were adopted after the crash, not many fully understand them, so they use a broad interpretation.

The question is so broad.
