In my experience, the cash flow may be substantially reduced (or even become negative taking into account interest rate of original loan and refi closing costs).

If separate water line services for each unit weren't part of your original scope of service, then they are justified in asking for additional payment to redo the plans.

Is origination costs makes you select the Lenders?

@Coty LeBlanc I originally used it as a set it and forget it tool and it was better than not having I suppose, but then I really dug into training and learning and I saw 50% increase in one property and 20% in the other.

These can be further broken down into lender closing costs and third party closing costs.Thelender closing costs can include underwriting fee, processing fee, funding fee, origination fee, credit report fee, and tax service fee among others.

Some of the simpler asset protection solutions would include the following:  having max funds allowed in qualified retirement plan or IRA rather than personal as retirement plans are exempt assets in Federal and most state bankruptcies; investing through an annuity if your state (Florida and Texas for example) exempts insurance policies and defines annuities as an insurance policy; taking advantage of maximum homestead exemption in your state; use of corporations or more popular LLC or Series LLC to limit liability to the entity holding the asset; reasonable liability insurance if available; separating asset ownership from asset management; etc.I can design a simple, cost effective asset protection strategy of up to about $5million with little cost IF the individual resides in Texas or Florida.
