Here, two layers are legal, but I'd never do it, nowadays you want (and its code in a lot of places) to use Ice & Water shield under the shingles in some areas, and that needs bare sheathing.

Well, you might need to be a broker to have a legal management company.

Thank you Michael, Brian, Kathy and James for the warm welcome :)After doing quite a bit of research, taking courses on all the different types of strategies, legal advice on the vast pitfalls of real estate investing, negotiating, etc.

The owner of the house is still on the deed and that person is the only one that can deal with you legally, unless some waivers are signed.If the property has been foreclosed on and bought back by the bank at auction, the bank can deal with you but may have already signed an agreement with a Realtor.If you have a good relationship with a local bank they may offer you the chance to buy a property before they list with a Realtor.

The agent is legally required to submit the offer to the seller for consideration, and if the seller chooses to make the bank aware of the new offer, that's his prerogative.If the agent refused to submit the written offer to the client, speak with the agent's broker...

Title companies here are ran by attorneys so see what their legal opinion of the policy is.

If there was a fund involved did you ever get a legal opinion about whether or not this is an issue with the Reg.

Seems totally inappropriate to be examining customer's bottoms.

Obviously, what works for me may not work for you and you should ALWAYS consult with legal counsel as part of your due diligence.

Can any one suggest a legal way to finance part of the rehab and purchase while buying it with my roth?
