Odds are the conflicting information is most likely talking about different markets/products/price points/area grades etc.

It's not a 203k requirement that the home be in unlivable condition, but odds are the listing agent is going to tell their client to throw your offer in the trash if the home CAN be purchased with a vanilla normal non-reno loan.

Have a bit of an odd question, but...if you were looking for indications of the area's economic health & real estate market, where would you go?

Utilizing my data to provide me with the best odds of reaching a potential seller is only half of the equation.

I own three duplexes but, oddly enough, none of them have even sides. 

This may sound odd it seems I see opportunities everywhere.

It feels odd that PM can cancel the agreement anytime for any reason but owner has to pay the remaining lease amount to cancel the agreement- Is this normal?

Could be a new agent who doesn't know any better, could just be an odd thing that the particular agent likes to do, could be that the seller wanted it mentioned specifically in the listing, could be that the agent was sick of getting dumb questions from owner occupied buyers who don't know any better....Who knows.

If they do they own it ,odds are you will have to pay to have it ripped out and new installed .

Good odds the fridge won’t work in two years.
