Just popping my head to say 'hi' to all the wonderful and talented folks here making the BP community richer and stronger (both materially and mentally)!

I'm wondering if anyone can give a high level description of steps to take for renovating a house. 

In the future, I would try to schedule the inspection so that you can participate via facebook live, skype, facetime, or some other app or train your friend to do the inspection and document it properly.Thank you for replying Nathan,I am still within the 4 days, so I wonder If I could just have my friend go back and do a proper inspection with her this time, but she may refuse and then at that point if she refuses because she already went there, would I be back to losing any claim to the deposit?

Thanks everyone for your wonderful feedback!

Wondering if there is a way around this rule.  

I was wondering the same @Chris Connery ! 

I have an real estate investment company with a couple of other partners and I was wondering if my self-direct IRA can lend money to this company.

I am wondering why does the seller care whether or not I have an agent?

I wonder if they used a perforated pipe without the sock on it... my understanding is these usually have some crushed rock over a perforated pipe with the liner over it to prevent dirt plugging it up.

@Jimmy Dudley  its sort of depends on where you live and closing customs.for instance on the west coast there is no such thing as a wet closing.. or having all parties come to the closing table.. simply never happens.so when we sell something here I usually go in and sign ( if I want to I can also just have them e mail docs and I sign and they send a courier to my office.. )this is done 2 to 10 days before closing.. then the buyers come in the 3 days before usually because they have their 3 day right of recession ( owner occ mortgages)  then the loan package goes back to the lender.. then the title company has to record in the morning.. and has to send recording numbers to the lender then the lender funds.. then the next day once this is done title company will cut checks or wire proceeds.. for us 100% wires we never get checks.. its always kind of comical when I am sitting in my office in Oregon closing a deal in some east coast state and the closing attorney sends me an email with the time of the closing and wants to know if that time is good for me like I am really going to be there..
