Account Closed  out here its not customary ( west coast) to engage an attorney for real estate closings unless its a super complicated transaction... you have your commercial broker ( usually extremely knowledgeable) and your Escrow officer at your title company ( most with extensive experience).. only time we lawyer up is usually in a dispute type deal or a deal that has a ton of hair  on it...

This is especially true if it is going in an escrow account or some such.We are really splitting hairs at this point.

In nicer areas like the one you posted target a buy of a hair under or around 40k and you’ll be fine.

It's still a cash-out refi, so your rate will be a hair higher than if you did it at purchase, but it should otherwise be easy.

If there are assets on the books with hair on it like those mentioned, bulk selling those assets becomes attractive to an asset manager.

Most of the houses in my neighborhood are out of my price range, but one just came available at the top of my price range (actually probably a hair above, but hey).

I have a background in regional planning and geography, which has given me a laser-focus on developing real estate options to meet the changing demands of the market, driven by larger demographic, social, and economic trends.

I think that these scumbag squatters should be dragged out of the house by their hair; flogged; and then thrown in jail!

My rent on the second unit is stabilized and just a hair above market rate, but justifiable.

It was when I got laser focused on the higher risk (mostly the callable and adjustable commercial) and higher rate (older residential 6+%) loans and just punched them in the face every month that my mortgage debt and risk started dropping dramatically.
