@Jewel Starling , Seeking a mentor/consultant to start with can be a very good idea. 

If you have doubts, consult an attorney...

This analysis will provide the members with an idea of what they expect to gain at the end of the deal, and you can monitor the performance and make any adjustments if needed.

And, giving the wrong impression can be very costly to someone, so let's let a tax advisor consult our new folks.

Please consult your attorney as to whether or not this information is valid or logical for your potential investors/any deal you're working on.

IMO, I would, at the very least, consult an attorney and check on state housing/landlord regulations.

To be absolutely certain how things are to be handled in your jurisdiction, you might consult with an accountant to see if an appraisal is required at the time the townhouse changes roles from primary residence to rental. 

If that doesn't work, you can try enlisting the services of a waste broker / waste consultant that will negotiate with your servicer on your behalf.

Now I work as a consultant, and everyone knows.

Thanks for the response Ryan.These numbers are coming directly from the mortgage consultants Good Faith Estimate Worksheet (in PDF form).I thought that line item was high as well.
