if your going with financing and a longer closing then you will have to show the bank your well qualified and pretty much play by their rules (their conditions, timeline, etc.) if they don't have any other offers or any cash offers (the bank i work with will take deep discounts for cash and fast closings (2 weeks or less)) you may make a higher offer but if the bank can get it off the books before the end of the month with a deep discounted cash offer then they will seriously look at it, even if they lose some money.

Fixing this is going to depend on how bad the affected area is.If there's just some mold spots on a bathroom ceiling, you can kill the mold with some vinegar, or bleach/borax.Bigger mold defects (like deep penetration) might cost you significantly more.If I was in this situation, I'll first get a friend out who knows what he/she is doing for input, then maybe start getting quotes from mold specialists.And you do want to do this as soon as possible - you're right this could affect your health and that of your loved ones

My realtor has done the following (but not limited to) and he has me on the brink of relieving him of his duties:1) talked to other clients or realtors, or even held personal phone calls during a house viewing (more than once)2) told me that he shuts his phone off from December 24-Jan 23) Sometimes does not respond to calls/texts within 24 hours4) Didn't know what ARV meant when I used the acronym and then proceeded to say he never heard it called that before...Maybe I'm answering my own question, or maybe I'm being overly picky but usually I'm right about my gut instinct.

Still, you will see some large companies go down and then see creditors go after the individuals assets because they guaranteed the loans.If you are a single member LLC and you self manage your protection is minimized compared to a multi-member and separate management.Having an umbrella is important.If your personal net worth is high you are at more risk even with 1 property because lawyers always look for deep pockets.

I've been trying to learn as much as possible, and get things in line before getting in too deep.

But I can forsee a deep cleaning and possible update needed when they move out.

The area is a bit of a borderline edge of city area - not suburban, but not deep into the city where things get rougher and the schools deteriorate.

Anyone here gone this deep without a lawyer?
