The goal is to find a good one and move everything under one roof... but yes, nothing wrong with testing the waters with a new company... even in the same city.

My contractor estimated $850 for "filling and testing" it.

Hola, I recently submitted a buy proposal with my realtor for 1.5 acre water’s edge Smith River (NW CA) property which the owner is currently reviewing and is likely to accept.

The lender had forced place insurance on it, wouldn't add us to the policy, and threatened to accelerate the loan on which they were accepting our payments.

It was a pretty intense class. before you decide to get yours let me put a few caveats out there. its expensive. between the classes, class materials, exam costs, licensing costs, mls costs, costs of hanging your license somewhere, business cards, etc, etc, it can cost a few thousand easy to get started. however, if youre still thinkin about it, triangle instutute of real estate is an amazing school with amazing teachers and tons of valuable testing materials. i highly recommend it.

If the seller does not counter or accept my offer before the deadline then I am out.Then what if he comes back later after the listing date with an offer to reconsider my original offer.

Then I would come back to BP and post it (Financials) and ask/accept feedback. 

Has it been tested in court? 

That process was relatively simple, it was a HUD home with the bank asking for 130,000 so we simply offered $125,000 and they accepted.

I have made it clear that if I can’t get the minimum I would accept for the property, within 90 days on the market, I would just want to rent it out again.
