So the lender I have was able to get the 10% down but wanted me to know that there are some stipulations! 

Hi Brie,You already have it rented again, unless you stipulated that you would have those refinished for the new tenants, why bother doing anything right now?

I am just considering making a stipulation in my rental contracts to allow the use of e-cigs in the home and or on the premises.

The one stipulation is that the appliances must be working.

Make sure when you compare estimates from different contractors, that their bid stipulates they are going to follow the EPA RRP protocols for dealing with lead based paint.

If this is a conventional loan it must follow Fannie/Freddie underwriting guidelines, which stipulate that seller contributions (down payment, closing costs, prepaids, discount points, etc) for an investment property cannot exceed 2% of the value of the property, which is the lesser of the sales price or the appraised value.

You do not want to order any vendor services or spend any dollars until you are in contract, since said contract will stipulate these things and govern the transaction.

I will be reaching out to the city to see where they are in the process and what stipulations there are for the violations.

You may want to include a stipulation in a building policy that nothing should be stored within X inches ( it will be in your installation manual) of the equipment, the thermal overload may just be defective like he said.

That is the settlement agent's view in a cash transaction, as explained by American Title.If you can't close the A transaction then basically you are selling property before you can take good title, you are conveying a warranty deed prior to paying the consideration stipulated in your purchase contract and selling property that is not yours.
