I agree with you in that each different asset company can operate slightly differently when it comes to administration, paperwork, certain time and bid period processes, as well as the counter offers inviting people to bid higher. 

With $15k toward closing costs, a buyer should be able to get a significant rate buy down and rate is a major pain point right now.

Or you can try to figure it out on your own but it will be painful process but at least you will have some battle wounds.

I invest for my own account, and do deal analysis for my syndication business while my partner runs all other (administrative) functions.  

As I understand it, the Small Business Administration (SBA) doesn't loan money, it partially guarantees a loan from an approved lender to a qualified borrower, so the money is owed to a lender, not the SBA. 

These rules can be a pain but they are fund EVERYTHING so you know. 

I feel your pain, very much so!

Matthew,I feel your pain, Im about to buy a town house in Watford.

You're not going to walk away exclusively with feelings of pain or pleasure as-in feeling like you "paid for nothing" or "overpaid" if no defects in the sewer line are found OR feelings of "it was worth every penny" or "thank god I had it done" if defects were found. 

If administrative costs are increasing due to the volume of total properties under management, then the monthly fee should increase across the portfolio to ensure there is no conflict of interest between the owners and property managers.As you can see in my 2015 financials below, I paid $9,876 on repairs.
