Account Closed, Contract Law 101 taught me that if there is "no consideration" (which can be interpreted to mean "no earnest money"), then there is "no legal Contract"!

Jay,Oh I know, statistics can be interpreted to mean whatever people want.I didn't mean to imply that the last downturn was all the banks' fault, clearly the borrowers had no business getting loans they knew they could not afford.

All that exists is interpretation. 

Did this tax book even correctly interpret the tax code?

Florida had that issue due to interpretation, but it has been corrected.

However I read municipal development codes daily and were I to read something like that, the interpretation would be intended only for the specific instance it is listed under (the exposed underside).

Unelected "officials" left to interpret code and order us to do whatever they want, no matter how stupid. 

The data on the MLS's can be interpreted differently by broker/agents of varying experience levels so it's important to not use a new agent especially in your complex situation.Next level up is a BPO ( brokers price opinion ).This is a more detailed report than a CMA and usually resemble closer to an appraisal with adding and subtracting features and information data to arrive at a more accurate value and selling price.

In fact, it might be seen in court as manipulation and could be interpreted as taking advantage of the seller.Again, anything you post that helps me make more money is greatly appreciated.

I don't know how to interpret that, but that's what he said.Mike
