Can someone provide us a list of closing attorney responsibilities so we can ensure we’re all doing our part to close in an efficient and timely manner?

Windows and egress look newer and efficient. 

Sometimes the window doesn't permit a "replacement window" and requires a full tear-out which could be $400-600 at an efficient rate. 

I just say that because a property for 400k may not be as cash flow “efficient” as two properties for 150k or a 4 plex.

The attached efficiency apartment was nasty and smelled bad. 

Usually, only heating oil USTs associated with commercial properties are regulated. thus, most home heating oil tanks may and often are taken out of service without any oversight from state regulators.Second- the rules that are in effect for heating oil tanks are usually less stringent than for diesel or gasoline tanks since heating oil tends to thicker and may not migrate as far. as a result, many states just require tanks to be cleaned out. they may also require the tanks to be filled with sand or concrete to prevent collapse. but sampling may not be required.Third- the key to determining if a tank has leaked is to collect soil samples from around and beneath the tank (groundwater also if groundwater is shallow). another quick way to see if a tank is leaking is to "dip" it with a stick that has a paste that turns color in the presence of water. generally, if water has gotten into a tank, it can mean oil has leaked out of the tank (although a certain amount of condensation may be present even where there is no leak so this is not a infallible test).Fourth- if there is currently a tank in the basement, ask the owner if there used to be a buried tank (a/k/a underground storage tank).Fifth, If the tank has impacted the soil, the cleanup generally varies from $25K to $50K though the costs will depend ont he depth of the contamination. i once had a home with a heated pool that had pressurized piping and used diesel. the contamination went down 40 feet and the consultant went crazy excavating the soil to the tune of $400K!!!

As we create, manage, and liquidate more funds to create a track record and continue to provide information of value through content based marketing, I believe that our efforts will snowball to the point where raising capital won't be a future problem.Increasing efficiencies is an ongoing process and is handled on an ad hoc basis depending on demand, cost, and discovery.

They will notice additional features on appliances like an ice maker or maybe high efficiency. 

When you get a mortgage you are also paying principal and interest so it will Help you pay off loan more efficiently.

I am doing a rehab right now...I have the same decision to make this is what made it a no brainer...Installing a higher efficiency unit (you can get money back for going high efficiency/green our local utility provides) I think it is $2500 now....This is a nice chunk of money to save.
