Is it better to use a lawyer when buying a condo, as opposed to a bank-owned SFH where it's fairly cut and dried to buy without the help of a lawyer?

I don't mind hanging dry wall and the demo but Im not going to get myself electricuted!

Again while California and some other states may have some better functioning condo markets, the lessens learned stem from the broad picture of the whole nation.

There is new carpet in the dining room and we don't think it's received any water there as it's nice and dry.

I'd sure get a smooth, sensitive approach down pat, get on these too early and you're a vulture waiting for the dirt to dry, too late you can miss the deal.

You have no idea what chemicals were in such flooded waters, how they will effect materials even if they appear clean since wood can absorb chemicals and dry out, like petrolium products.While some of this may not be a problem for the seller, it can increase liability issues especially if not disclosed.

The ordinances for storage after eviction are typically local to your municipality.Although every location may have different laws, I suspect most only require the belongings to be stored in a dry and secure place.

Others, who perhaps prefer to use their cash for the rehab, or have run dry, try to borrow as much as possible and can be LTV constrained by some lenders (i.e. what’s the value of a lender who will only loan you 65% of what you need?).

As long as it dries the clothes it's good enough.

Will I use HML when my private money dries up?
