It never materialized but with my new conditions (money to work with, proximity to china, schooling in import/export) it looks like it will become a reality.

As big as you can make it with good solid buyers, just keep working the list and networking to the best of your ability.As for a percentage of ARV this is going to depend on your market conditions and the type of buyers you have.

You can do your own evictions thru the court house and depending where you are the cost may very ($50 or less) I never had to evict someone yet thank goodness but my lawyer told me how to file it.

I'm looking for a contract teplate to write it up so the seller can have viewed by their lawyer and we can close.Also on a land contract do we have to close at a title company?

She let me know that her lawyer was going to send a letter to me requesting my insurance company.I put in a claim with my insurance company and after reviewing the facts, they are claiming the incident occured on "common ground" and are also denying any kind of liability.One thing I want to note.

I've never heard of such a thing but not wanting to offend anyone I let it lie.I didn't think that my offer was that unreasonable but what do I know about current market conditions eh?

Condition irrelevant, work needed irrelevant.

You would be surprised what a couple of hundred bucks can buy you at a good real estate lawyer's office.I was in a similar, yet different, situation when I bought my boyhood home from my parents.

Also, if I get a homeowner that is interested in selling his home, do I need a lawyer to draw up a contract?

The obvious advice: consult a lawyer.
