absolutely will..with a starter home that i flip, it may not be necessary, but the kitchen is so small that it doesn't pay to not do it..i don't have any empirical evidence, sorry to say....but i can tell you there's a wow factor when you're doing something better than the competition...if kitchens sella house, why not dress it up for a little extra?

If you don't write anything that might alarm the buyers about the mold -- and if there is no evidence it still exists -- it probably won't be a big deal.

What would be the risk to a lender if you did not pay - they would be buying your home at 50% of value + foreclosure costs.With $30k of last years income and if you can show evidence that you are on track this year to repeat or better that figure this year, you should not have a problem.

I have NEVER heard of a city fining a person for putting a 24"x18" sign in their own yard.Please provide evidence for this claim that most cities regulate small signs in people's yards.  

While there has been some excellent discussion and some anecdotal evidence shared by @Tyler Watts, @Ruben Guerrero and @Brian Orr amongst others.To get some more facts on the table, I thought I'd take a deep dive and make an analysis of Gastonia using the method outlined by @Brandon Hall  in this seminal blog post on how to analyze a city for underlying economic and demographic fundamentals.You'll want to download the reference documents and have them handy as we walk through this.

Plus I've seen plenty of evidence in my own rentals, that the tenants that setup on ACH stick around longer because they don't have to write a check or think about the big rent payment every month.  

The buyer will have 14 days from receipt of seller's notice to exercise this Option and provide evidence of their ability to perform the terms of this agreement (i.e., confirmation from the bank as to financing, proof of bridge loan, accepted purchase contract on buyer's property).

I guess my question is the purchase agreement in real estate a part of the WHOLE contract and evidence of the meeting of the minds and my intent?

Although title is certainly one piece of that evidence, the real test is who files taxes for the piece of property.  

I've seen this in my own investing, and I invest in markets quite different than Mike.If you have some evidence of another "formula" that works, please do share it with us.
