I guess the mere fact that I felt I had to get a 3rd party's point of view already tells me I was uneasy with the proposed transaction to begin with.

I know personally some realtors who have client on both sides and make deals according to their pockets, and not in the interest of either party.

I invest with my SDIRA and while it's a bit more hoops you jump through (you have to be arms length away from the transactions, can't use "disqualified" parties etc.) it's worthwhile if you're going to put it into real estate.

For instance in Arkansas and in a lot of states, if you make a claim as a third party on behalf of a "client" ie the owner of the surplus, the state may limit you to a finders fee of only 10%.

Then there was the peyote church leader who seemed really nice and cool at first but then started growing mushrooms and peyote in his closet, and when I went out of town he hosted all night bonfire peyote parties in the yard playing bongos all night, then stabbed another house mate who came home hammered drunk and asked the peyote church parishioners to be quiet at 4am or so and they both ended up in jail and I had to evict them both while they were in jail.

That second or third house is a big leap sometimes but you're close.

For instance, for any reservations with VRBO and some 3rd party or direct book reservations, they use their own cc processing which has high fees. 

Thus, the third obligation was met under the Agreement.

Thanks Russell, that's insightful that most estate attorneys issue SWD since the selling party is deceased!

I'm curious what the neighbors in these $500K neighborhoods think of bachelorette parties descending on their quiet, manicured living spaces 135+ days per year?
