As well as the appreciation, created as a result of the availability and demand.We're happy to share.

Yes, since the property was under contract before you backed out due to inspection results, the inspection fee can typically be treated as a capital loss.

@Jewell ArceneauxFrom my experience, focusing on impactful upgrades like kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and curb appeal yields the best results.

Most of her Chicago landlords do not charge a deposit since the anti-landlord penalties can result in paying triple back to your former tenant for some minor infraction.

They got fundamentally sound real estate, with matching debt (10+ yr fixed rate) and budgets with the intent to hold nearly forever. 

A moderate 80s update in Houston may not match Indy, so leaning on someone who knows the local buyer pool can save a lot of back and forth.All the best,Johnny

The definition of insanity is to do something over and over and expect different results.

As a result when the brokerage acts as the listing and selling brokerage  it saves both home sellers and buyers money.

I wasn’t notified about this change until I saw it myself.When I asked why, they said the home inspection found some issues that were fixed and re-inspected, but I’m confused why this would result in a rate increase.
