Hopefully this copy-and-paste's OK:RESTRICTIVE DRAFT RENTAL ORDINANCE PUBLISHED Palm Springs has now published the rental rules that will be proposed at this Wednesday's 5PM Council meeting, including: No more than 28 rentals per year.Letting family or friends stay counts against the limit.

You don't have to tell the seller what is the fee, BUT if the seller asks the title company, they WILL tell.In addition to this rule, there is a new California law that would affect disclosure, WHEN your buyers is using a federally regulated loan - your assignment fee will be in the HUD-1, which now is called Closing Disclosure.This is a new Mortgage Closing Disclosure by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which published this final mortgage disclosure rule in November 2013 but delayed the effective date until August 1, 2015.

Unfortunately, the public records which are published online do not always contain every recording so it is safest to search the records or ask a title agent to do so for you.

This firm, http://www.marcusmillichap.com/, publishes a quarterly report on the Houston Metro area.  

I just recently received a copy of the Latest revision to the minimum PA seller's disclosure form from the State Real Estate Commission (it is not published yet since it requires one additional approval), and I can assure you that buried oil tanks are still an item listed in that seller's disclosure form.

Marcus Millichap publishes research reports and just released Q1 2016. 

Michael, I use a combination of powerpoint and/or publisher.

Definitely check out the books published by Bigger Pockets and listen to the podcasts.

In case of the seller be the one who does not want to sell his property any more, he will pay twice the value of the given payment to the buyer, in accordance with the item 417 and 420 of the civil Brazilian code; 2) After this stage, normally in 30 days counted from the signing of the contract, the buyer, seller, and the whole papers for both parts in the negotiation, is presented to a municipal court, which a Public Writing of selling and buying real estate will be published (taking as base the previous signed contract).

Plus the lists of available properties are not usually published until 2 weeks before the sale (sometimes one month).
