Not to mention, I find it much easier to negotiate contingencies, extended settlements to sort out zoning or other items and even settle with permits in hand with MLS listed properties which is undervalued by most but can greatly reduce your transactional costs and open the door to better financing options. 

Yours might be but that's uncommon overall.If you've never had a claim that's great but it's not really relevant to the discussion.Do you understand how partial losses work and what loss settlement provisions you have on your policies? 

Will I need to have a CPA present at settlement?

High risk of lawyers buying a unit, tearing it apart, finding one thing not to code, getting the rest of the condo owners to sign on to a class action lawsuit and hood every subcontractor, builder, architect hostage for an insurance settlement.

Very happy to see the used car salesmen, errrr the real estate salesmen getting checked!!

Buy the home in an LLC with a hard money lender for 2.6 million with a 900k rehab credit written on both sides of the settlement statement.

You and wife get a divorce and you give her the house in the settlement. 8.

It is an old home built in the 20s and we have some sloping and sagging floors that were reported in our initial inspection but was wrote off as "probably due to long term settlement" so I didn't do too much more looking into it as I felt anything major would have been reported in the inspection (mistake #1) We have since been living there, and planned on BRRRRing and hold the property long term.

Hi BP Community,I'm new to real estate and home construction, and I recently bought a house (has a crawl space on flat land) which has about 4 inches of settlement on one corner of the house.

As a listing broker, do you hold the responsibility of reviewing closing settlement statements or can this be done by a salesperson?
