Also control the draw funds pay the subs directly and get lien releases ..

Redfin showed 2.35% month over month Jan to feb and feb to march data is not released yet. 

I look at this and ok you overpay and are paying down $7200/year in principal You take 3 years to break even but it’s really 6 years because of selling costs on a property.I would not assume appreciation in homes with reports showing average pay increase of 3% and average prices increasing 5% (new York fed latest q1 release) and debts are at all time highs.Original poster better not get into a cash crunch as if they do they will be in bankruptcy in a New York minute.

Correct me if I am wrong but Joe Schmoe with no experience and no education can call himself a financial advisor.There is no governing body that administers the term 'financial planner' so I put litte weight into that title / profession, whether it is fee based / non-fee based. 

Hello,I would like to know where I could obtain a set of docs valid in Florida necessary for purchase and sale of distressed properties (subject to, owner financing, release of information, lease with option to buy, etc.)Thanks for your help

Other popular fees are maintenance fees, release fees, eviction fees, inspection fees, and the list goes on and on. 

This takes you out entirely.You could hold the funds in escrow, and have the title company release only to the window guy upon your approval.

I did keep the EMD from the 2nd buyer -- I had to write a letter and drop it off at the title company because my agent didn't do it and I got a certified letter that they were going to release it back to the buyer if they didn't get written notice from me.
