(try Power Prospecting)Get the DEAL and the TEAM  will materialize.( Controlling real estate with a skinny contract is a powerful leverage tool.)So when you talk to a title company - all they are going to do is quote you a price for settlement based on your contract.

I also used another free Real Estate analyzer I found on the internet.  

It would have cost me about 150 to do it on yellow letters, so I am measuring my costs including materials, labor time, and a time factor.

Shop around, learn the price per SF of each material or price of each item.

Within 30 days you can generally get all reports back and work through all seller due diligence material items and receive a loan commitment from the lender and a rate lock.The LOI part is so that my buyers hopefully limit upfront money spent and do not jump into deal after deal spending thousands to tens of thousands with an attorney negotiating PSA's and ordering reports to not close on a property.This is even more important with 1031 exchange buyers as you do not want to set a selection only to find out a massive problem and you now just have 2 choices left as all 3 choices are locked in after the 45 day ID period.

I'll post a picture of my yellow letter when I connect my laptop to the internet.
