With every deed recorded and date last used title my GUESS is this: Dad intended for Mom to stay until she died but did not intend for Mom to get a loan on the house.

I was recently referred to LendingOne by a fellow investor and just wanted to share my experience thus far as I feel there's a lot of marketing bait and switch happening with lenders that advertise terms and loan structures...Our past and current project:  We do buy-rehab-refi-hold (airbnb) rentals, not regular rehab flips.First off let me start with the things I think LendingOne excels at:Nice dashboard to upload and store all your documents to track how the loan process is coming along. 

@Tom ThomsonI am not an attorney but my 2 cents is he does not have to return your earnest money in my opinion if he can still meet the closing date on the propertyI view it as you are terminating the agreement because you don’t like the house anymore

Only one month remains before the August 17 implementation date for the NAR settlement.

Your Closing Date , etc. ( thus costing you more money ) ?

The landlord should ensure that all tenants know what is expected of them, whether it is when the rent is due, rules they must abide by to keep the property in a safe and sanitary condition, respecting fellow tenants, or generally just being a good neighbor.I believe that the City has its proverbial head in the sand on this.

My understanding is that the Marshall's office sets the date and informs the landlord or PM of the date.
