There are very limited metrics in controlling SFH prices as again, they are priced according to what is generally an emotional transaction.

By simple controlling properties way below market value and assigning or selling your contract or position to a cash buyer for a fee.

Unless they write into the provision of the loan they have some control (and if they want to do that, turn around and run), you can do whatever you want.Depending on if and how much you rent it, determines a whole bunch of tax situations and you should consult your CPA on that.

My recommendation is to get a professional pest control company to do an assessment.

I'm just wondering how this can burn me at some point.Who gets the T-stat control?

However, the sellers agent will want to control the deal, use their non assignable contacts, require a large EMD, POF and always try to drive the price up on your low offer aka (Realtors Rules).

They hinge on splits, internal controls, track record, distribution timing, wind-down procedures, fees, etc.

Our next step is to hook it up to the internet to control it from wherever we are.
