FHA loan with 3.5% down, did a 4% seller's assist so at settlement I paid about $8,000.

So my question is if I have insurance on the house and it burns down while I own it, can I use the settlement to build something commercial?

Carter is overseeing a settlement agreement between Los Angeles city and county governments in a case brought by the L.A.

Make the seller have them out prior to settlement . 

The builder met with one owner and offered a verbal settlement, which he withdrew a month later. 

But if that 35% is coming from the 1031 then that means your 1031 money is being used on the settlement statement for all costs and you'll want to talk to your accountant sooner rather than later to get a handle on how much you should bring in if you want to cover those costs with non-1031 funds. 

On Friday (yesterday) was my settlement day.

Looks like it might delay settlement while they figure out how much money to escrow, but I wouldn't be too concerned about that.

Regal Abstract in Wyomissing did a great job with drive-thru settlement at the start of COVID, before we had it all figured out!

Hey @Daniel Eden you should work w/ a HML that provides you with a closing cost estimate upfront and use that to compare @ settlement.
