Just jumping onto this chat chain as well, but are you still looking for members in your Jersey City group?

Just yanking your chain a bit there Rich!!

I worked first for a global hotel and resort company as a regional manager, and later for a smaller chain of business extended-stay hotels (not Extended-Stay America) in site management.

We did not know about any of this until we were forwarded an email and this was stated in a chain between buyer's attorney and agent.

- If your travel was for the repair of the house, yes you can deduct the travel, lodging(overnight travel outside of your home city), meals (50%).

It came out late, but it's out now. https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/buy-rehab...This chain ended up getting long...I wish I had had it when I wrote it so I could have included everything!

I'll drop the entire email chain, all 15 back and forth emails, into the notes section of the appointment. 

Ahhh yes, the joker broker daisy chain survived the covid lockdown!!! 

If a lender ever forecloses on a property with environmental contamination the lender runs the risk of becoming an owner in the chain of title and therefore possibly responsible for the cleanup.

However, we saved a potentially HUGE cleanup bill because if we chose to still close the deal, we were on the chain of title and could have had to carry the cost of a cleanup if the Phase II determined a spill.For my example, looking at it from the seller's side, he was very wise to refuse us the opportunity to do a Phase II.
