Are there other items I should be thinking about that aren't common in residential but are a factor for this deal?

I read in Money Magazine that one of the biggest mistakes investors make it paying the typical fees to investment brokers, so I am looking to get out of that but don't want to lose my tail either.

Some banks require 6 months and a few require only 30 days but these are far and few between and your going to pay for that with higher fees.

Most are happy to attract anyone who has the membership or meeting fee and might either bring them deals on day or be a source of cash for other member's deals.

Please note that I don't know how plausible they all are so feel free to comment:1) Write it into the offer that the eviction process has to be completed by closing, else I can walk.2) Ask for money back at closing to cover any fees plus unforeseen damages to the property.3) Walk away and find something else.Oh great, now I can't figure out how to get my margins back to what they were before....anyway, I haven't made an offer yet.

There are companies out there that will show you how to get business credit for a fee but all they really do is line you up with vendors they know report to D&B so if you did a little digging you might be able to come up with some of them yourself.

I usually google average mortgage APR and put that number in there any investor worth his salt will know his typical Percentage from the lender he is working with and will factor that in when he sees your report.

What are the disadvantages of refinancing other than higher mortgage and refinancing fees?

I wish I could just pay a small fee even if it is monthly to see MLS listing.

Is there a standard lease fee ?
