Will buyer's agents ask for a signed contract and/or a retainer?

Even with me being bad at PM I retained more cash monthly than I do with a PM.

we build ground up and don't collateralize anything. we build at a discount in Columbus Ohio and we build cheaper than every builder I've seen in our market and because of that we make each person self fund a retainer account. we don't extend any credit to anyone. opposite of what you are saying. builders that bring value call the shots. 

Do you have any recommendations on courses, books, or materials to learn from? 

If you wanted to go hunting with dad you had to be able to gather materials, and start a fire with one match. 

Jon Hi There is so much material available educating on how to properly conduct this process .

.- Puts material equity into the deal, in the form of cash. - 750+ credit score- Pays legal fee for seller to have representation from lawyer to walk them through the terms of the subject-to deal, including making it very clear that there are extremely real, and potentially devastating risks in the event of buyer default.Irresponsible/unethical Sub-to buyer looks like this:- Poor/no credit - Would not qualify for the mortgage they are taking over payments for, much less a new mortgage if a forced refinance event happens.- Is attempting to get 100 subject-to deals, but is not even capitalized to pay off or inject enough equity to refinance a single one of the acquired deals to have it qualify for refinance, much less a few dozen of them. 

The disposal cost was less due the reuse of the oak material for mulch.

Filters and batteries on smoke alarms, I would just replace and not charge her, but the cleaning and damage add in the cost of materials. 

Some would say it's material data.
