After I remove the appraisal and home inspection contingencies (assuming the house appraised for the value I'm paying and the home inspection didn't reveal any surprises), I have the title company order the title report (I would have already pulled a title profile on the property as part of my due diligence).In CA we use a standard California Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions provided by the California Association of REALTORS(R), Inc.

Las Vegas city health department advised me they had multiple dealings with the previous owner and had instructed him to fix the plumbing problem.It seems undeniable that the owner was fully aware of the existence and severity of the plumbing problems.If 'the problem has been fixed' as is stated in the SPD, then can we have receipts to show this?

Escrow knew about the assignment fee agreement and even had it at one point written in the escrow instructions and had it on the HUD.  

Then she would give instructions to the title company to fund the next purchase.Anybody ever do this?

What I learned is that you if you put together written step by step instructions, things go a lot smoother.
