I'm in LaPorte and one of the stipulations I agreed to with the city was that the trailer will have a pitched roof.

does anyone know legal stipulations etc.. ?

As @Shawn Gageby noted, there are licensing requirements and stipulations as to whom is eligible to make a claim against the State's Guaranty Fund.  

I would do open houses with stipulation if buyer that was initiated thru open house, I would become buyer agent and get full commission on one side.

Im sorry, the stipulation on the 5k down the new asking price is 135k not 119k

Typically at that point they are now on the deed.Does your contract stipulate who pays the servicing fee?

This could/should be stipulated in your management agreement.Most of the rates that have been quoted in this thread appear high for the Phoenix market... with the exception of @Derek Janssen  his rates are similar to what I've experienced. ($3.83 SF Labor & Materials for Tile install)Your Management company may have a policy that they only use licensed contractors.

I am aware of some of the stipulations associated with condo ownership and don't like them..lol.

The underwriter of the loan usually approves the loan with a handful of stipulations. 

I would go with the 1st option, but it's going to be hard to press someone in court to pay the bill because they can say they did not use that much utilities, without sub-metering, you would not have any proof on who used more than the other tenants, but for the most part tenants will pay it.I guess if you wanted to stipulate in the contract that the lower unit would pay for the entire building you could, it's a contract after all..
