I'm also seeing $xx for service call,  $xxx for after hours service call,  $xx per hour of labor, which I all assume comes out of the repairs budget in my calculations.

Try a gimmick additional $xxxx commission to buyer agent if closed by January XXX.

If you have $xxx to put into "a really great stock I heard about", sure, go put it into Bitcoin (or Ethereum or whatever) instead. 

In those cases I have heard people who have offered $100 over highest offer up to $XXX - and if there offer was accepted the agent needed to show the other offer (and they would confirm it)

"The first sentence, 'four xxx barged in...' is extremely offensive.

For example when I go to the County recorder I will hear someone ask the recording clerk "can I just write XXX here" or something else similar.

In the lease we signed, the standard Texas Pet Addendum, we agreed upon section B3: "Tenant will, upon execution of this agreement, pay Landlord $ XXX as a one-time, non-refundable payment."

"The showing is on XXX at XXX.

As you mentioned, the property is going to need a lot of work; that will require $.You can analyze it just like any other deal: where you would normally put it $xxx,xxx for "% down," you now are going to put in the cost of what its going to cost to get that house livable where someone will pay you market rent. 

i was all over probate in the last couple of months. look the house over the county records , if its under "estate of XXX XXX" it didnt go through probate or its processing. take the name and run a search in the probate court records and youll know if its in probate or not. you'll also see there who is the executor(the guy who appointed to execute the will and has the power to sale the property) and who are the beneficiaries(the people who gonna get the goods, usually the executor is one of them).
