I've reviewed many contracts from other Realtor boards, FSBOs ,ect and you really do get what you pay for, wrongly adjusted taxes or HUD-1 fees will quickly make up any savings that you got trying to avoid an attorney or real estate agent.In my little over 2 years in real estate, I've caught something around $10,000 in mistakes by the title company or the selling party.

Im unsure if he put any down.Its listed for 279,000. bt he has a realtorso I figure he was just trying to get his realtor fees & just wants to break even at this point.He showed the house to me , so no realtor involvement.He said his payment was almost 2500.

Lately I've been doing flat fee commissions on property or very low commissions with very generous agents bonuses at closing.

Once you have it there are no additional origination fees to pay to purchase your next property.

A 24 unit will most definitely have maintenance and repairs, as well as cleaning fees and depending on your state laws you may be required to have on site maintenance and management once you start getting into that many units.

Further to my query about legalities and licencing for collecting finders fee - aside from the courthouses does anyone have any good resources for finding notes in Canada, more specifically in the Toronto/Ontario region?

You have vacancy to worry about - plus maintenance - plus advertising - plus management fees.

Would appreciate any information anyone has on ways an individual investor can get property profiles as needed for a reasonable fee.

You can complete your Articles and take it to the office, pay the fee and the fee to expedite, and, within a few hours, have everything set up.

A lender runs the numbers and realize the investment is solid and they will provide 70% of the purchase price.Now you run inspections, appraisals, legal fees, environmental reports....etc...etc and incur 100k in costs in due diligence.You still need to tie up an equity partner/investor for the remaining 30%.Would you be asking the investors for 300k (the 30% on the $1M purchase) or would you want to ask the investors to cover the 30% + the "load" 100k?
