If you want a second opinion, consult a second lawyer.If you search the forums, you'll find a million posts asking this identical question - it will always boil down to "it depends."

The two units that I am not living in are almost identical, except one has a finished basement with an extra finished bathroom down there.

@JD Martin @Morgan Klein That's kind of how I was leaning, thanks for the verification. 

I was seeing if some people can double check my closing costs.I purchased a single family for $90k in Pittsburgh, PA.

I've toyed with making it about the tax returns: "The purchase price is based on our own estimates of the property's income and expenses and are subject to verification with the property's tax returns: We will pay the lowest of either the purchase price or 15 times the net income shown on the property's tax returns (not including amortization, depreciation, and loan payments.)"

The neighbor with the identical house and roof had replaced the slate with shingles and was doing his second replacement before I did my first.The first house I bought was a 17 year old ranch house that the roof was just replaced due to wind damage. 

These are details.Other than having your identity stolen, losing an up-front fee, and maybe your deal, what’s to worry about?

I read through about 75% of it as well as half of his other book the Millionaire Real Estate Agent and the first half of both books is near identical; it's the motivational information the previous poster hit upon.The second half of the book is more about building a successful real estate company than being a successful real estate investor.

I struggled with the same identity crisis when I worked in Corporate America.

In the case of a loan, which had a balloon payment at the end of the term, they would be almost identical.
