Residential Purchase Agreement for FSBO?
Hello,
I am an agent in California.
I would like to buy a house as an investor from a seller, without ANY agents involved.
I have personal contracts, but I would rather use the CAR Forms to be more safe.
As an agent/investor, what would you say are the pros/cons of using a standard CAR rpa?
I don't understand the need for a personal contract when you can be much more protected.
Also, if I go the official route of using standard CAR rpa, what parts of the document would I take out (i.e. one of the last pages that has the agent signatures - since there aren't any), and what other documents would you INCLUDE, so that the seller knows you are an agent, but not acting as one.
Thank you in advance!
