I recently purchased a 2 flat with basement.

John, I called 3rd Federal a little over a month ago and got a flat out no.

We ended up having to do quite a bit of grinding and leveling and are still outside the flooring manufacturer's specs for flatness - would have been a huge investment to get there, so we just ended up getting it good enough so that we don't notice any obvious dips or bumps and praying that the flooring will be robust to the remaining issues.

I never fill these out and just pay the flat rate which is has always been less than $100.  

Either a flat fee or a % of profit.

Hi Staci,If you don't have any plans on working as an agent for other clients, I would recommend a flat-fee broker with no commission split.

I would consider this option only if I were truly at the end of my investing life and seeking to create an annuity-like income stream through a simpler and more consistent vehicle, saying putting it all in IVV and withdrawing a flat percentage every month. 

They mentioned that this is something that they informed the previous landlord about and they flat out said that they wouldn't fix it. 

I have a property that I purchased in LA county that has a ~12,500 sq/ft of flat land (12,500 Sq ft lot) with one existing primary residence (1200 Sq/Ft)I hired a architect to design an ADU (3bed/2ba, 1200 Sq/ft) and Addition (3 bed/2 ba, 1200 sq/ft) to the main home. 

why not buy a 2 flat?
