Obviously everyone knows that the roof is included in most policies with the exception of Wind/hail Exclusions but are you aware of your deductible?

My buying options are be limited to condo units for the area I will live in.My question is: How much should be budgeted for repairs/maintenance for a condo unit, exclusive of HOA/Condo fees?

Having exclusive run of the place for a week is a little odd - I was a plumber while I was in college and all the time worked with and around other trades as we were often on new construction. 

Also, here in Louisiana, people still read the newspaper.

Did you sign an "Exclusive right to represent" contract with the first agent?

James, Our office is on 41 here in Sarasota, and we work almost exclusively with investors.

I've practiced almost exclusively in probate, estates, trusts and guardianship for the better part of my career.Recently, I posted an article about how Florida probate affects real estate transactions.

I know this because we build and sell them exclusively for investors.

If this is your primary residence, and you've occupied it for at least 2 out of the last 5 years, then any gain is tax free....IRS section 121 exclusion.

Put in an exclusive right to sell contract.
