I also have an excel spreadsheet and it is much easier to track the notary costs versus the whole amount of the fee. I have these columns set-up
Name of lender Name of borrower Date of signing Fee amount Notarizations Taxable Fee (subject to S/E) Mileage (yahoo maps) Bridge toll Remittance date
I also keep a spreadsheet for supplies ordered and used. (Toner, legal/letter paper, fax ribbons, pens, stamps, envelopes, etc)
I have also downloaded my cell usage into an excel spreadsheet.
I love details and this allows me to keep an accurate picture of how much I am profiting from this endeavor. I am also anal with a touch of ocd so go figure. That could be why I check the loan docs 5x before sending. |
