I graduated this past May with a dual degree in bioengineering and applied math and statistics.

7% is normal in Georgia if there are dual agents (Buyer & Seller agents).

My family and I own a 1.5 acre vacant lot - it has a high voltage wire setback requirement - but front of the lot is .7 acres of buildable space + parking can infringe on the powerline setback.

Hello, BP family.I'm about to buy a multifamily unit in LA and is going into escrow.My real estate agent is a dual agent and he's representing me and the seller.So long story short, I was wondering if you know any good home inspector in LA area and person who can install automatic driveway gate...Let me know!

I will say cut your loses and look for another project and next time you get a signed contract, make sure you have your own agent, don't do dual agency, as the listing agent has allegiance to the seller, not to you, and after delivering earnest money, make sure that property is removed from the market as active and that the contract is sent to the bank immediately.  

@Marsha Clarke-Everett, I know of Myers Building Systems, located on Dual highway just outside of Hagerstown.

He brought in a local investor (dual agency) and he gave me an offer that looked ok at first -- close enough on price, with no contingencies.

We have a new roof, new AC, new top of the line Samsung stainless steel appliances, enlarged open kitchen, and renovated bathrooms.Our dock can bring $1600/month yacht rental (we have dual 50A/30A/20A metered marine electric and dual metered water), and I see house rentals in our area ranging from $3500-$5600/mo.We were originally planning to sell because we could not refinance since we plan to move--but after joining this group yesterday it seems that we might be able to instead get a loan as a rental property if the numbers work, and then use that cash to move and purchase our 2nd property (perhaps a duplex, triplex, quadplex).This is probably the most important deal decision of our lifetime because this is the one that launches us into this real-estate business--I am beyond grateful to this community for knowledgeable advice on our best course of action.

@Theresa Harris I replaced the entire toilet with a higher efficiency dual flush.

In dual representation, they get to keep the full commission, so it would behoove them to get the buyer to make a strong enough offer so that it gets accepted.
