However, back then, both me and m wife had high income W2 jobs, and concluded we could not do it part time as a hobby.

Just $50/month.A looooong stretch to conclude this was a sale, IMO.

But every one here don't know all the stuff in order to conclude and either say " Go after the guy" or" pay the agreed price and move on "I am not an expert but few high level things - it seems atleast in some states , installing third layer of flooring is illegal .

But I will tell you that when I used agents to represent me, just as a buyer, I would still get passed over (no B&H or counter) just as much, if not more.Because the same outcome occurred in both instances, I have concluded that whoever ended up getting the property with had an inside connection of some sort.

If a court is deciding whether your business and personal assets are effectively the same, it will be much easier to conclude they are not if they aren't all going in and out of the same bank account.

The ratio of rent to purchase price is pretty good, so the poor return is largely due to the very high property taxes.I could easily conclude that this area is not a good one for buying rental properties (at least not for me), but I thought I would first try some creative approaches to making the deals more appealing.For the sake of this discussion, assume that the purchase price has already been reduced as much as possible based on all other factors, and that the numbers used for rental income, maintenance, etc. are conservative.

I am not a lawyer and this post should not be taken as legal advice, but given the circumstances I believe a reasonable person would conclude that your actions and intent are to broker the transaction.

As this number continues to get smaller it in turn makes the number of available listings (our supply) fewer and fewer.Thirdly, the number of homes in escrow, in pending or contingent status, in relation to the available listings has grown each month for at least the past 8 months.What I conclude from this is that the market is absorbing the inventory faster than the new listings are becoming available.

I think that your data set CAN be smaller IF it is clear the correlation between effect and cause criteria.For example, the observation:If my analysis says 82% of the time, spending this $500 will profit you $1500, I will gleefully make that call time and time again. would most likely be too broad a criteria to conclude a profit of 1500but ok, I definitely see the value of what you propose.

For example, if the contract permits the seller to collect liquidated damages in the event of the buyer's breach, then there are solid grounds for concluding that specific performance is not available, because the liquidated damages provision provides an "adequate remedy at law" to the seller -- even if the liquidated damages clause is not "exclusive," as described above in paragraph 1.3.
