If not you can either start fresh and find another tenant or demand the tenant meet you to sign a lease.

Does anyone know if (realtystore.com) comps are fresh/ accurate?

Also, for comfortable living, air flow, and ventilation, it is a good idea to have windows that can open well enough to allow stale air out and fresh air in. 

I am a real estate investor in SF and could def use a fresh set of eyes on a property rehab I have in Oakland.

Freshly remodeled interior in 2012, but will probably need a little TLC on the cedar shake siding soon.

We start considering lowering the price about 10 days in depending on the activity level and feedback from prospective tenants.Poor condition/marketabilityIs the home in a fresh and desirable condition?

They will open escrow, do a title search, lien search, issue a title insurance policy, calculate pro-rations, order payoffs, prepare a settlement statement, record the deed, etc. as part of the closing process.I AM ONLY EXPLAINING THE PROCESS HERE...THE FOLLOWING IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS LEGAL ADVICE, WHICH I AM NOT QUALIFIED OR LICENSED TO GIVE - CONSULT AN ATTORNEY FOR THAT.But, yes, assuming your contract calls for clear title (a good example is the Florida Realtors Vacant Land Contract, paragraph 7), then yes - you could conceivably make an offer using similar terms, and once you and the seller have agreed to terms and signed the contract, you could take the contract to the title company and they would work their magic.The title company would let you and the seller know what they uncover during the title search, lien search etc., and the onus would then be on the seller to settle any outstanding liens at closing (assuming they are less than the purchase price, they could come out of the seller's proceeds on the settlement statement and be paid by the title company).

Folks,It is possible to build a Passivhaus compliant home (energy consumption <=15kWh/m^2 per annum) using off the shelf materials with a marginal increase in construction costs (~10-15% ... less as the workforce becomes more skilled).Primary heating and cooling of such a home can be accomplished via the ERV/HRV system with a small auxiliary heating source (there's a house here that has a 1500w auxiliary coil to provide additional heat to the fresh air supply during the coldest part of winter ... that's essentially replacing your furnace with a hair dryer).Even a near-Passivhaus construction (or retrofit) can lower energy costs 70% or more in comparison to the conventional (or even R2000) house being built in Canada these days.  

I am fresh out of the military (US Navy), and I am currently working in the medical field.
