Just looked at pics again...skip gel stain.

@Luc Boiron I'm going to skip the whole section from the lease.

I feel like my buyer got an exceptional deal on this home, mainly because I wanted the security of having it sold and at the earliest possible settlement date.I could easily see how a seller who doesn't care about their reputation would be more likely to cut corners and skip on some small details in this scenario.

If you are trying to get started investing fast, I would skip the license. 

It is almost asking a realtor to be the Project Manager for the whole thing, a really good realtor          might skip that offer and she might end up a not talented one.    

The days you are not busy doing real estate stuff you should plan on being at a kids ball game, a pancake breakfast at the local Lions club, a school play that you donated $50 for, getting your car washed at a local fundraiser by the soccer team, volunteering at a local chicken BBQ, taking your dog to agility classes and meeting people etc etc.

It might be in NY.Agency disclosure is the mandatory paperwork which goes with the offer and both, buyer and seller, must sign it even if two different agents form different brokerages involved.LBPD and the pamphlet are mandatory for houses built before 1978 and there is a lot of financial responsibility for skipping it.

I researched the hot tub option.First I found out that the 98% of the competition didn't have them and may place already stays full without one.Second, I talked to some people that have them and they said they wish they didn't have one or didn't need one to be competitive.If you do you have you need to have a contract with a sauna company to do the maintenance to minimize your liability.I would the a pool would have the same issues applied to it.So if you don't need one of these to be competitive them skip the headache.

Deals are harder and harder to come by but we utilize direct mail, skip tracing, referrals, social media, door knocking, the MLS and others to get deals.

They tend to skip over us in the central area of the state.
