@Lawrence Lloyd paclobYour plumbing trade will come in handy big time.

Can I ask if the REIT you work for is publicly traded?

I have an e-mail in to him to get the name of the list company.  

If you are looking for something to coordinate repairs from start to finish without all the phone calls and e-mails, it is a fantastic tool.  

In TX there is a licensing website which indicates which trades must be licensed.If Nebraska indicates general contractors must be licensed, then you must have a license.I would call your local permit office for clarification.

So, your argument is there should be some trade off...your having to deal with leaks for striking several of the lesser items they are charging you for. 

The only way you'd get a real answer is to go thru the short sale process again.....listed property, executed sales contract, short sale package along with financials submitted by the owner, etc.  

@John Boby, As long as that LLC is a disregarded entity (meaning all activity is reported on your personal Schedule C and E) yes you can close that way.  

I currently own my home as well as 2 investment properties, and am very interested in buying and holding residential R/E and growing a portfolio that will hopefully provide substantial income to live comfortably off of one day.
