You'll need to be prepared to tell them what type of fixture you'd want in the store to get an accurate cost.

It is true that there is an enormous amount of information to learn but I am confident that I am receiving accurate and realistic guidance.

That being said, may I ask some of the sources used by other investors that they have found to be accurate? 

www.realestatereporter.comDoes this site accurately or at least in the ball park with its numbers.

Although the info in the quoted post is accurate, the commute from Conshy to the Navy Yard would be painful.

In an effort to keep this post from going too long, the best plan of action is to speak to a very experienced lender and allow them to review your entire financial package as none of us lenders can give complete accurate advice without receiving full voluntary participation of a borrowers financial information.

@Daniel Gonzalez assuming your P&I payment and loan amount were accurate, you should be doing a little bit better in interest rate that I just backed into.

@Ken Raymond Thanks i have been playing with the numbers using those online mortgage calculators but I'm not sure how accurate they are. right now i just plug in a interest rate at 4.5% and base it off that. do you know if these are the best tool to use to get an idea of where my payment would be??

If you have a good one (in my area) just make sure I can find it and be sure to be specific and accurate about the information you provide.

I am, of course, willing to pay a reasonable fee for the service as long as it's consistently reliable in terms of having accurate, current phone numbers for the owners.Any insight is greatly appreciated.
