@Jim Doyle- thanks   1) consider increasing the purchase price by the amount of the elec and roof  work that needs to be done  and then assist  seller with  getting the work  scheduled and completed  ( as this will be required to be donw before closing ) ..this way the  seller  is technically  paying for the  repairs  and they wont lose  any  proceeds ....they will pay a little  extra  wa state sale excise tax  but  that  wont amount to too much  2)  consider  putting less down  and using some of your funds to pay for  the repairs  ( or part of the repairs )   3)  consider using a rehab loan  4)  consider  keeping the price  where it is and asking for the sellers to complete  repairs  (  this likely wont happen)  5)  get roofer and contractor  estimates and get them  lined up to do the work asap  as it might takes  weeks to get this scheduled / done  6)  ask seller for  extension on closing date if the  work  will take  longer than 10 days ,,,Good luck

Property appraiser/tax assessor maybe.

They will allow your mortgage payment and any personal debt payments (credit cards, cars, etc) to reach about 45% of your monthly income.Programs vary all over the place so it's best to ask a mortgage broker which programs you qualify for.They like two years on the job, rent paid on time, no liens or judgments, pay stubs, tax returns and so on.FHA has a 3.5% down program plus closing costs.

They will give you a finder fee. 

A settlement statement was not provided or signed during the closing, and the fees disclosed had changed.

Hi @Kathleen RogersREPS is a very powerful tax strategy that can offset W-2 income.

Suddenly now that we are ready to close, this fee comes out.

The transfer fees/taxes for the deed can get into the $400 - $500 range for each of these. 

Their fees are reasonable and they provide quality renovations.

Hello, I’m pretty familiar with the tax liens regulations here in Alabama but I wanted to brush up on quieting the title.
