Since I had underwriting authority, I would simply type one up quickly and shoot it over to them.

The trustee does have authority to sell if he chooses in most cases.

The Tipping Point is one of the most influential books I've read.I suppose I could list 30 books if I wanted.I've never read any Rich Dad books, mainly because I find the author to be dubious.

@Nilesh Makhija here is the post for the next NYC meet-up: August 19th, 2014 NYC Meetup in Manhattan with BP VP & Author Brandon TurnerI suggest you follow @Darren Sager he does a fantastic job organizing these events!

(and yes, I understand a lot of people dont want to put money down, but Im trying to get a deal or two under my belt so I have experience and authority to speak from).

I don't have to deal with the tenant, the Housing Authority or the inspector.

If there are habitability issues on the property and it does not meet section 8 inspection standards or building code you can reach out to the authority that issued you section 8 voucher for avenues to take.

Be sure to check with the licensing authority (DOS in New York) and investigate all court cases that involve the property manager and the principal broker.

I don't have any connection to the authors of these books, but they are good resources to answer your questions.Best of luck

If you look at the one base fee charged by escrow, it is most of the time equal ... although I highly doubt a bank selling one of their reo's that requires you use their escrow is truly paying as much of that base fee as the purchase agreement suggests.I would be a little careful using one title company's definition of a 50/50 escrow fee as a basis for concluding that writing 50/50 on the standard CAR form is going to be interpreted the same by all escrow companies.It's kind of a moot point because however it is interpreted, both buyer and seller, after review, approve and sign escrow instructions and that then becomes the controlling authority for the balance of the transaction.This is hardly something that keeps me up at night.
