Make sure to note anyone who may have witnessed this communication.2) Create a synopsis of what you "thought" the deal would be if it's not all in the contract (sounds like it’s not).

Over the last year we have witnessed increased average DOM, increased inventories, very much a slowdown in sales of higher end properties, excess of class A rental units (much of which came on line in the last year or so) and more. 

To wit: this isn't exactly a neglected home in flyover country you are just now buying today at a low full retail price because the local economy is so depressed that no one can afford to own (or maintain) a house...

I think if you did it wit flips you could use that to sell it faster by saying..

We have to have wit.

I tried working wit a Newbie and it was frustrating.  

Look for any witnesses as well if there were any.

When you find out 2nd lien holder, you can negotiate wit them, because they will be wiped out completely in foreclosure if it comes to that.

Also, while you can probably pick up a blank quit claim deed from Office Depot or online, and get the county to record it, there are a number of reasons you might want to pay an attorney a couple hundred bucks.I commonly see errors with vesting, marital status, witnesses and homestead ,prepared years ago and now clients are paying big bucks (for quiet title or probate) to fix the mistakes that could have been avoided. 

I'm currently looking at properties in areas such as Watertown, Waltham, Allston, Brighton, etc.There are good deals to be had in those areas, and perhaps even a bit further out if you're willing to sacrifice the commute.Regardless, I'm excited to follow your journey and witness your progress.
