She just sent me a repair addendum with this exact wording, "Buyers requests that Seller to escrow $5000 at closing for all repairs listed in attached Exhibit A to be held at Pulaski County Title".

Make them feel what it is like to be held accountable for once.I would also ask for the Christmas basket back.

We're revamping our firepit and I'm looking for recommendations on purchasing Adirondack chairs.There are so, so many options on Amazon, it's a little overwhelming.Has anyone purchased chairs that they leave out all season and have held up well over the years?

We held fast that we were selling the house however, in lieu of evicting, once they had successfully exited the house, we gave them back 1 month rent, full deposit and paid for the moving truck and dumpster. 

There are landlord tenant laws that they probably have no idea of and somehow I think you would be held responsible for any illegal or unethical practices done by the primary tenant.

With a 203k loan you will need contractor bids, FHA approvals on those bids/repairs, and funds will be held in escrow and released to the contractors upon completion of the work.

I truly think that maybe the seller with held the information from her agents because she was scared I would back out of the deal she just got stupid while grieving for her very recently passed husband. 

I am NOT a financial advisor, but therein lies some of the value and perspectives of this post, very few financial experts are advising to diversify into hard, tangible assets like precious metals, real estate and commodities. 

Yes, technically the escrow is for taxes and insurance, but in reality it's a checking account.In the event that you refi your mortgage, that escrow balance comes back to you because it is essentially your money held at the mortgage holder's office.When I'm doing accounting, I transfer the escrow portion into a separate "checking" account. 

I am selling a home in Georgia as a non Resident.I am told a 3% of Cap Gaines will be with held for the GA IRS.I read that GA Capital Gaines tax is 6% and they seems to be no Long term/short term differential.I understand that I will need to file a non-resident GA tax return for 2018 to get a refund of W/H or pay more tax, perhaps up to another 3%.Is this understanding correct?
