I’d be very grateful for any advice or recommendations on how best to approach these modifications.Also if I were to refinance in the future to pull out cash from the property, is this something that banks could refuse to lend on if I have code violations of lets say a wall that was moved or removed?

This would include architectural fees, new equipment, cost of protecting or defending your title to the property, or building improvements.

@Jerry ZhangYou cannotYou can give a personal guarantee but then you would have to have other assets.What could happen and we have seen many times is they go into default and the 20% equity cushion goes out the window due to late fees, accrued interest and legal costs.

Cleaning fees should essentially be a pass through expense as they are paid by the guest and neither you or the owner really ever see that money.

**Dual Representation or Referral Options**: If you’re open to a co-brokerage scenario, you could also work out terms where your realtor earns a referral fee instead of the full buyer commission.

You pay the lister flat fees but promise selling agent (who bring the buyer)some %% from sale.

If you buy the house, do you owe both a fee?

You would file the name with the state for each series created so it's clear its a series, but you wouldn't have to do a whole entity formation or do the annual filing fees.

Most free sources like realtor.com, zillow.com pull data from county/public tax records. 

There is only a small fee to accept the offer and make the deposit into a checking account.
