what governs the close date with real estate transactions...lenders, correct? 

About the CD, as it was electronically signed on 11/29 that would  make 12/04 as the earliest closing date for a purchase transaction so you may close on or after Monday.

Account ClosedThe 70% rule is used to make sure there is enough equity or profit margin in the transactions.

In hindsight, my assumption is, being that they are creating the LLC, the contract would need to be under the LLC name, which to me is counter productive because you have to wait until the LLC is created, etc before submitting an offer, let alone getting an executed contract.

Depending on where your property is located I would outfit a 2BR unit fully furnished with new contemporary IKEA products.

I know as my business grows, I would gain more benefits and be more productive,as Brent suggested.

Also Cody careful In Mississippi one of my clients there got thrown in Jail for brokering without a license.he got caught once got a cease and desist and I set up a transactional program for him so he could come into title and resell.. he did quite well we did one or two a week there for a few years.. then we had a falling out.. he reverted back to his old ways of tying up a property putting it on his website and reselling it without owning it or bringing in his own funds to close.. and got turned in again this time he was arrested and charged with a felony..

Glad to see the finished product.

I hired a lawyer (who also happens to be an agent) to do my real estate transaction. 

I have bought a lot of smaller multi-family and I will quite often put it under contract before I go look at it because I'm familiar with all of the product available in my area and know what I'm looking for.I don't do that on larger multi-family but I have a good idea of what I'm looking for so I would not go look at it unless it met everything I was looking for on paper and that only happens very rarely.So let me challenge you a bit.
