The RedFin data shows a lot less "closed sales" (458) compared to Russell's info graphic (939.)

I've been here since the beginning, or real close to, and am happy to help you navigate and learn the site.As for where to invest, it depends on your goals, your tolerance for risk, and how much control you want.  

I’ve been given the clear to close but am experiencing cold feet.

The last few years have been great for investors/homebuyers who bought pre-con, but looking back to the few years after the 2014/15 boom, this wasn't the case, where many had actually committed to buying a property that wasn't quite worth what they signed up for closer to closing because the appraisal weren't matching the contract price, requiring a cash top-up.

Contact a local closing attorney as they may have one for you to use. 

Quote from @Alexandra Feig: Hi all,About to close on a property in Columbus and seeking some contractor recommendations!   

I work closely with investors like yourself, helping them grow and diversify their portfolios.

So the first seller agrees to direct title to holds the funds and when you close on that purchase you record a new note for the first seller on the second home.

Probably not even close.  

We are close by in Orlando!
