However, for a landlord who has things together, they are better off budgeting for capital expenses and maintenance and having some reserves either in the form on savings or even an open line of credit to access in case a significant issue arises.

What is recommended in this case, take higher interest and try to lower closing costs?

So I have three questions: 1) is it standard to charge owners for drive time from the prior job site or office; 2) am I crazy to think these are egregious overcharges; and 3) what actions can I take beyond requesting that they review and lower the charges?

So I told her I would be willing to do it gradually because its an expensive project.

My thought was to find a partner who could help bring that experience for a lender to help lower my rates.

He has never been late & took in a room mate to help with expenses.

My 250K tax benefit will run out before his lease does on the 2 of 5 rule, so it might be a good time for me to sell - and help him with a lower rate than banks can give while giving me income until he refinances.

I feel confident it's going to be very expensive.

The current market conditions have made properties quite expensive, potentially leading to a scenario where I'd have to cover monthly expenses out of pocket.
