:)When someone who owns a house dies, with or without a will, their estate owns the house until it is transferred to another party.

That's the bottom line, is the consideration given usual and customary with respect to the risks and rewards of the parties contracting to do something?

The owners might still be living in the property as holdover tenants, the property might be vacant but have valuable property the owners are using for storage and eviction has to happen, or the house is totally vacant and needs to be trashed out and cleaned and winterized depending on time of the year and climate.During this time the bank or asset company is having the broker that is to be assigned the listing complete a free BPO and then they also order 1 to 2 other bpo's that pay other brokers directly to do for an objective third party evaluation.

You can then get some interested parties ready to view as soon as it becomes vacant.Another option is to have some people who can view the house next Saturday and set it ahead of time with your current tenants.

It seems to me that a great approach to finding the right mentor is to use BP's "collegue request" feature.The more time I spend on these pages, the more certain individuals stand out.

You need to check and make sure there are no quirky laws in California protecting sellers from having to sell even with a written contract.You might stand to gain some helpful knowledge by showing a real estate litigation attorney all your paperwork for review for a few hundred and they can give you realistic options and chances of being successful with your purchase if one seller fights it etc.No legal adviceP.S.

The part I left off at is #2.

The great part is the reframing used the existing header and just closed in the excess window width, so inspection was simple because I didn't touch the actual structural members so he just looked at the nailing on the new studs and sheathing on the outside and it was done.After that a coat of stucco top to bottom and paint and the whole house has a different look to it now.

If you can't stand the idea of walking away from this house because you are emotionally attached--this is a danger sign.

I remember now why I couldn't stand residential and I love commercial.
