So, you end up having to have and pay for two policies, the existing one for the seller and a new, independent one for you.Perhaps you could convert these deal to a MLO and leave the seller as the owner.

#2: If yes, I would take 3 independent contractors / handymens to look at the house for a free estimate.

Sounds like its a statistical argument.

It literally becomes a selling feature... almost as if I had put a McDonald's in the front yard.In fact, statistically speaking, many of the highest sales in my area have sold with Ikea cabinets.

After that the agent has to book the time for the sale at public notary, the buyer transfer the money to the escrow, and bang, t's sold.The difference with an agent like that and the agent presenting a real estate company with good reputation, is that the latter usually goes for an exclusive contract with the owner and advises on selling price, process and sales strategy before listing their property.Anyway, all the info, regarding statistics of deals and prices, about previous owners of the properties, is available for everyone, for free or for a very small fee.

They are an affiliated Altisource company and not independent so you will have little sway in a dispute over earnest funds or anything else.

Well, you could do this if they are strictly and independent contractor, the proble?

Instead of trying to paint a rosy picture the agency should have been reporting statistics accurately - then there would not be any problem.

The outliers, in the statistics world we ignore these.Class A - Slim profit, hope for Appreciation bump.Class D - High COCR, but you need to keep repair/maintenance/vacancy at bay.I think its safe to say most folks here have a slight advantage over many who buy a property and hope for the best.

However, a Solo 401k eligible business can have part time employees and independent contractors.
