I get info from REIN but the prices they charge compared to what you can get at REAG - hands down, I choose the latter.  

I get 2.5 points charged with each one of the two loans, I have no leverage to negotiate the 30Y mortgage rate, no closing credits and if I want to refinance with another lender in the market I'm charged a hefty fee that will make the other loan unattractive anyways.

It's not like a loan gets paid to the seller in installments over time or can be reversed like a credit card charge, once it's approved, the seller gets the full amount and it's sold, right?

There is a clear market limit as to how much rent you will be able to charge your tenants.This slide from the Feb 9, 2016 KnoxREIA monthly meeting shows the comparison of the Knoxville MSA to the Nashville MSA (information is from MetroStudy). 

They will make sure that you are complying with all the notice requirements and their fee is charged to the debtor.

after that they have no charge for finding tenants. 

Brian, Dave is about 10 years behind, he's still in the predatory mind set of charging more for financing and the ability to take it back and do it someone else.

Some attorneys only charge a few hundred to help set some up and some charge thousands. 

I order a Municipal Lien Certificate from the city (confirms if taxes are outstanding as well as water, betterments etc) I used to do the title exam myself but the national title company want a third party because they would also have malpractice if anything is missed) I review what they send me and make a judgment as to the marketability of the title or if there are any other issue so the mortgage company is in first place (so I would order pay offs of any current mortgages or judgment liens, etc)Most of the registry of deeds info is available on line so I can double check or do a preliminary search (or anyone can search for that matter) As for getting copies on line, you usually need to be registered and have an account because they do charge by the copy.

For example Real Property Management charges a $200 fee to the tenant to write a lease on top of $49 per applicant.
