@Craig Lively that occupancy requirement is part of standard Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac security instrument (mortgage or deed of trust depending on state) that any lender offering standard financing would use.

Asked a million questions bc it was my first deal and they were all instrumental in my success.

Arizona is unique in that the Arizona State Constitution specifically permits real estate agents to prepare instruments (purchase agreements, contracts for sale, deeds, etc.) incidental to a real estate transaction.

Mostly it should be to make sure the instruments are legally enforceable and then assess what legal liability/protection the passive investor/client has. 

The actual recording fee is a very small percentage of what it costs to record instruments.

Imagine each medium of learning was one instrument in a symphony.

However, the fourth picture in the far corner below the left window, that looks like mold to me.I recommend hiring a mold inspector to do a visual/instrumental inspection and sample areas where mold is identified if any is.

Also, there is obviously an existing contract between the seller and the wholesaler, which I understand that the wholesaler would assign to me, but I don't know what instrument I would use to establish my purchase price, closing date, earnest money, etc.What am I missing here?
