I would check the military clause in your lease and act accordingly but if they are not on the lease I personally would handle the situation the same as any broken lease and refund the deposit minus expenses incurred to rent the property and in accordance with the agreement signed by the parties on the lease @Karen Margrave As a veteran I think it's a tad insulting to say military families struggle because many of them/us are fiscally responsible.

I have found both a reputable mold remediator and a third party tester for the seller to use.

I earn about $7000/yr in added rent to furnish the 12 bedrooms.The best part is that the tenants love the look of the furniture because it's modern and stylish.

The hardest part is writing the check every month without seeing the first deal come in.

@Brian GibbonsThat papersourceonline article forgot to mention something about 3rd party appraisal for the 2nd (LLC owned) scenario which was in the original CFPB regs.I'd prefer being able to use an agent's BPO/CMA since they see the pulse of the market and price in demand, where appraisals are rear view mirror facing.

Hey Jason, I'm a little late to the party, but finally using my bigger pockets account and perusing the forums.

It is very possible to pay more in fees yet have a lower APR.I suggest you never pay a broker fee up front, you do need to pay certain third party fees up front, like appraisal, credit reports in residential and those along with engineering or inspection fees in commercial, but fees should be collected and disbursed as need over the course of the loan process as you step through the qualification phases. :)

I looked into those and most of the deals were Homepath Construction financing and on those I think they required you to use 3rd party contractors to fix the items on the repair list.

The best part is I love where I live.

Creditors must generally use reasonably reliable third-party records to verify the information they use to evaluate the factors.
