This deed would have to be registered with the county clerk to make it all official.

As soon as they officially retire the HUD-1 and everything kicks in, no one but alternative finding is doing 30 day closings.Third, you can't execute a lease to a property you don't own or have a specific interest in; although a contract for purchase gives you constructive interest in the property, it's not the kind you can use to execute a lease.It also sounds like there's a lot of confusion over the process here based on some of her stuff said; this is where an agent can be helpful.

Of course, even the silly things are on the official report to correct.

Also I have heard that most of the home sales have been very informal and little if any paperwork has been officially signed.

Hey guys,I'm officially two weeks out on closing my first multi-family property.

So, I am going in with my brokerage and picking up the 2.5% buy-side by presenting the offer though neither of us will need to do any work on the official BRE side.  

From what I understand about deductions these should be done after the property is officially "for rent," right? 

I can't imagine your calculations add up the same after you put them up to a contractor's, or do you make your offer with a certain margin of allowable difference in mind or do you make a ballpark offer or an offer 'minus repairs' before your official offer after you've brought your contractor over?

Quite simple....go to either county's clerk of court, official records search.
