If it's not going through either of them and they are just handling it then make sure he gets in writing that what ever taxes are owed at the time of this "closing" that the amount owed for taxes will be removed from the purchase price in order to pay the taxes due.

I am going to write that on my white board because I should definitely keep that in my mind every day, "control my investments, track and stay on top of what effects my properties."  

I am not thinking of anything else at the moment of writing this article.

Any pertinent clauses to write into the contract if this works out?

I was thoroughly impressed by the writing and the very knowledgable conversations that took place in the comments section afterward.

If the market goes sideways and then down, you'll lose a lot more than a tax write-off for $28,000 in commissions.  

For me, I lay out a very specific scope of work and then create a draw schedule based upon completed work that we have agreed to in writing.  

Can I have an agreement with the seller that says they will pay $15,000 of their net and pay closing costs and we write up an agreement for $115,000, assuming 115k is 70% of the Value of the property?

And any partnership, as you know, must be in writing.

I’m beginning to think it’s not worth my time to visit this list, since I’d rather focus on NODs or NOTs.Driving for $I’m writing houses that look like they’re in bad shape down and classifying them A B or C quality leads.
