If you really want to learn and do your taxes yourself, H&R Block has classes they teach for about $400-$500 every fall.  

Hey guys so there's this commercial property in my area that was damage through fire.

(I'm in NYC, so the market can be totally different 1 block away)Case in point, we got a property under contract in Brooklyn, NY for $550,000 putting $25,000 as our earnest money.

I'd say the average is 2-2.5%. as we all know, fha has a ton of fees so it helps the buyer and they love having one of the nicest homes on the block with only putting 3.5% down.anybody have to usuall give in to the closing cost credit?

Say, if they don't damage anything beyond a reasonable amount, they would get that lump sum back when they move out.  

Greetings All:I have an opportunity to purchase a former one level 28,000sf school (one level) block built in 2 phases.

What is the likely hood the house will be vandalized or damaged without anyone being there?.

You cannot take things back, you can only do damage control once problems come to the surface.

One way to minimize the "damage" in the rare case that this does happen: push as much of your research and due diligence towards the end of the process as you can.
