Since I did not keep the rights, I did not ge tthe money.I fully expect many homeowners to start to expressly reserve mineral rights in the future As an aside, mineral rights in Texas pass with the sale of the land unless the sale express states that they do not -- so if no deed has reserved the minerals rights, they are not severed.Also, Title Insurnace is having trouble with these issues and will no longer grant title insurance on mineral rights without additional fees (maybe not even then - it's been a while since I attended that seminar).

Thanks for the info Jon, sorry about the way I express myself, I have to get out of texting mode when in the forums.

They have no right to release the other unit owners without their express permission for their own personal claims.

A few weeks back the tenant expressed interest in a month to month lease, as he was looking to possibly buy a house.

In this way I have also generated both buyer and seller leads as those who own eventually want to sell, those who rent often end up wanting to buy, and I've been there in a totally noninvasive way helping them both achieve their needs, so I am a shoe-in as their agent.In Arizona, there is a form (available at your brokerage, zip forms, etc) which affords you the expressed right to collect a commission if you are the procuring cause of the tenant moving into a property.

Before I went into escrow, I brought a contractor that I know thru the property & he expressed confidence that w/ a 300k reno budget we could have a nice duplex-ed up owners unit & a garden 2 bedroom rental.  

I am not sure I have ever heard of this or how that would work.To fill in some of the blanks I may have left out, I met her in person about a year ago when she first put a for sale sign outside (right before listing on the mls) and she expressed how she wants to get the heck out of there.

Others express passive interest and not really pay much attention to your interest unless you have thousands of bucks to spend... or dropping the ball if you look at distress properties, short sales, etc that require long time to close. 

Accounting is the language of business, to speak clearly about business we express many values and monetary functions in accounting terms.

I recently opened up a new American Express card that has $15K available at no interest for 15 months.
