You can amend that to cater to a private transaction or use it as a baseline for the key clauses that are state-specific in FL.   

Your assignment contract can can amend certain terms from the original contract as long as the terms of the original contract are met.Example:The original contract says you have 60 days to settle.

This was never considered in the contract and the sale price will not change but my concern is that we will need to amend the contract to extend the closing date.  

The entity owns the DBA... the DBA itself owns nothing.I've seen contracts with a DBA but title will typically (in these parts anyway) research who the legal entity is, have the contract amended, and ensure the deed is prepared properly.

You're missing a lot.That 10% comes from the Goods and Services Act (of 79 if I recall and as amended) concerning pricing of services, and don't be asking where it says 10%!

It would also amend the Truth in Lending Act with respect to minimum standards for residential mortgage loans, to prohibit, in determining whether a residential mortgage loan is a qualified mortgage, from applying to loans originated by such a person certain guidelines and regulations relating to ratios of total monthly debt to monthly income.

The answer being, there's a draft amendment to the RRIO moving through the city council that would prevent landlords from evicting tenants if their property isn't registered.
