For instance, the cost to prepare a return for a single individual will be different than for a married individual with children, all else being equal.Other drivers are the cost of living where your CPA is located (CA CPAs are more expensive than AL CPAs), their practice's overhead, and the CPA's experience and knowledge level.I don't know of any practitioner who wouldn't charge for more states. 

If they price the loan based on the assumption of a 3% discount, and now circumstances change, the discount rate charged is for the loan 5%, from another loan buyer, either they eat the extra costs, not do the loan, or reprice it.For instance, once I wasn't sure if I was going to live in a rental I was buying, asked the bank whether it's going to be a OO loan or a NOO loan.

You're inspector is able to do them all, but will charge differently, and create different reports based off that info.

Like every linear foot (and inch) or baseboards, count the # of doors and doorknobs in the house, etc.And this is not even to mention the fact that if I hire a GC, a lot of what he will do is just sub out much of the work, in which case I'm basically paying him a "finders fee" for a sub that for all I know I could have found a better/cheaper one myself.How can I include in the contract that I want to be able to have control over what sub's are used?

Sometimes it's cheaper to do each project with a specialist.

Julius seems good if you want to pick up a single scratch and dent appliance, but felt sketchy and had delivery charges. 

I know some syndicators who reduce the preferred return amount right away while others continue to distribute a preferred return based on the original investment amount and catch-up at sale.The GP may also charge a refinance fee, which is a percentage of the original or new loan amount.
