I feel like you'll need more than $1k for closing costs, documentation fees or lawyer expenses.Stamps are $0.49, printed signs are about $20/ea.  

My experience is that the appriaser's tend to watch their P's and Q's more than others because having that FHA designation is like printing money these days.The last FHA appraiser I met told me " you can't influence this appraisal". while I tried to hand him my hand picked comps.

Our currency is not backed by a standard, so the fact that our government is going to print more money in order to accommodate the bail out plans will push our inflation through the roof.

The bottom line is that we're BROKE and the government's response has been to simply print money, backed by nothing but thin air.

What if you dont have quickbooks, is it a simple printed out invoice.

Admittedly, it's hard to forecast how the two countervailing trends will impact the mkt value of your property-- more renters is good for demand and rents will rise in sympathy with inflation, but the higher rates will shut out many prospective buyers of your property due to inability to obtain financing.Income real estate as a hard asset (particularly if financed by long term fixed debt) is something of an inflation hedge, versus financial assets which will get crushed by Fed money printing and debt monetization.

Combine this increase in computing with advances in 3D printing (technology we use routinely in my day job) and other manufacturing technologies, and the idea of a computer program that writes another program and builds a device to put it into is not too far-fetched.

I have all needed info on a printed sheet in the box at the property.

I'll print it out and use it when I visit the bank for financing.

I am with Tim on this one....In my experience, most warranties are not worth the paper they are printed on.Take the lower price and one year warranty.
