I would also be happy to pay a finders fee to anyone that refers me to a high quality handyman that I end up working with.Regards,Jake D.Key words - Lacey, Tumwater, Tacoma, Construction, Framing, Shelton, Seattle, Puget Sound, Oly

The title company can do the deed of trust or land contract  whichever you prefer costs are passed on the the value of the property and the escrows companies fees I would think a minimum of $500-600 call around and check prices You can ask the buyer to pay the escrow fees 

I was aware of the risk of the lot fees, and thought the interest rate was a bit low.  

Whether you or your parents own it on paper, your fees and expenses can be tax deductible as business expenses, and if yo’re in the paper, you can often still get approved “residential” rates and down payments if owner-occupied.

So if this went to court and you lost (which you would based on the info provided) you will have to pay a hefty penalty, plus the resident's attorney costs and court costs.  

Unfortunately, my experience has been that the options are limited without paying high fees.

Does anyone know of any brokerages that don't mind hanging investor licences with a reasonable desk fee or yearly fee? 

It may just be a simple fee, if you even need one.

Especially with condos, watch out for the condo fees. 

Even the tenants take it to the small claim court, she needs to spend at least $50 to $100 filing fee plus many of her hours.
