Im a real estate agent in a novi office actually so I claim Detroit and the suburbs as my home.

If it was installed improperly then the whole thing will need redoing.A seller that claims everything Is new and you get in there and find a bunch of rigging that has to be torn out and redone yet the seller still wants the price on everything being repaired properly.

These didnt come with directions and claim there is no calking required.

I don't work in it now, but still claim the degree :) Can't help you with SoCal properties as I only buy out-of-state but I'm definitely local in the area and always up for networking as well!

As in, is there any degree of fudging that's possible like claiming electrical and mechanics were already in place and there was only drywall work done?

Could someone give me their opinion on the people on craigslist claiming they are real estate investors with so much business they looking to hire and train people.

I have seen time and time again a buyer be willing and able to pay one price and an appraiser claim the value is less.

Make sure there are no past claims to title, liens, or encumberances.

If a second foreclosed, then yes the first would still be in place and would have a claim, but not the foreclosing party.

Depending on with whom you speak, they are simply not going to refinance (knowing we have been trying to remove my ex-partner as a guarantor since January) to the other position of they are going to call the existing note {claiming we are in breach of the terms of the mortgage because they believe the property is a "rooming" house}.
