Since basic contracts come out of the NAR, nationally and are then adopted to state and local requirements, I've never heard of a broker's listing not have a procurement of sale clause.

Omar - don't forget the political aspects of real estate.In respect to development (or re-development), we can only imagine how the economics of a new tract built in a tough area may have played out.Politician needs to repay a favor to a supporter, who just happens to be a developer.Developer sees an opportunity to (maybe) change a negative economic trend in that community.Developer builds one less profitable project so that a much more profitable one can be approved in another community.Bank offers low, subsidized financing due to local or national programs that exist at the time.Just because it doesn't (or didn't) make sense, doesn't mean it was unprofitable.

Most answers will be coming from a personal experience but without being biased they can be great if you have them in the right locations.Properties surrounding Amusement parks, national parks and beaches are all great.We hold a couple properties in ski resorts and those are rented all year long even with the insurance, HOA fees and property management fees being a little on the steep side.Its all about location just like anything else within the real estate industry.Regards,Andres Calderon
