I told him that I thought the main reason for that kind of carp was to teach me how to blow smoke up my own butt to stay motivated, and that I considered it HIS JOB to motivate me, and that since he now expected me to do his job as well as my own I SHOULD GET A BUMP IN COMMISSION to include however much override he was paying himself on my sales.all cash

Think about things like cigarettes and alcohol, no matter which way the economy is headed those things will always be in consumption.

Yes - don't forget about the little things....carrying costs - which is not just the mortgage, but also heat and electric...closing costs (always more than you expect them to be)...minor things that add up...ie - mulch in the yard,new smoke detectors, light fixtures, dump runs, whatever.

You go stick that dildo up your own *** and get back to smoking your blunt, which is all your good for you gangsta wannabe"....I almost felt like saying to him)Oh man like I literally should have just hung up at that point, but the conversation was going reasonably okay up until that point.

My current rehab, the walls were bleeding from cig smoke.

I think you do if you're going to do any business, The SAFE Act is some smoke screen and it's like swating flies with a sledge hammer!

(drains clogged, water backing up into the garage and garage door kicked in and a broken door frame, several shingles uprooted from high winds, smoke damage in the living area). the seller agreed to fix the drains and leaking pipesor the first 1000.00 worth of damage. let me know if i am still being foolish, my realtor has told me that we were out of contract, and i should have no trouble getting me earnest money back, however i must go to early mediation to do it. i am confused and scared a little now?!?!

Don't blow smoke at them but consider giving them the opportunity to do business with you!

I may also be blowing smoke on this one.

The lead paint issue is probably just a smoke screen, and shouldn't affect a new buyer that much, unless you have local remediation/removal requirements.
