We didn't pay the commission, the seller did, but we feel like that could have been a negotiating point for us if we had an agent willing to do the "formalities" for a lesser commission when we found the property.  

Deliver formal written notices after a verbal warning.

Conceivably, these siblings would either list and sell the asset to your investor (for which you receive commission #1) or you bring in a developer/syndicator.In the second scenario, siblings would partner up and contribute their equity into the formal or informal partnership and the developer/syndicator would bring experience (successful track record), and other resources including builders, design architects, engineers, and entitlement experts for zoning and building approval, depending in the scale of the project.A third choice exists whereby siblings attempt development themselves.

First, we're in the process of formalizing our business (more-so than it has been) and as part of that, we've gone through entity setup in the states where we operate (North Carolina and New York) and as part of that, had a desire to move ownership of our properties over to the commercial entities, the right way (eg; a commercial loan, not just transferring ownership and crossing our fingers). 

Hi all,I guess this is my formal introduction... 

to give effect or force to (a law, decree, judicial sentence, etc.). to carry out the terms of (a will). to transact or carry through (a contract, mortgage, etc.) in the manner prescribed by law; complete and give validity to (a legal instrument) by fulfilling the legal requirements, as by signing or sealing."

Some states You can contact the Treasurer of that county & for a few hundred dollars they will do the paperwork for you other states You have to do a Judicial Process with an attorney.3 - "Hybrid State" these are states where they call them a Deed State, but You read their process & they do not actually sell the property but rather it provides either a high interest and/or penalty rate & after the state statutes time elapse.

Then I can pay the township construction officer to do a formal inspection of the house to get a detailed list of exactly what needs to be done and then hopefully negotiate with him to have a grace period or a reduction in the fine to address them after the closing date.

The property is in Memphis, TN (Shelby county) -a non-judicial state. 

@Allen - There is no redemption period in a non judicial foreclosure.
