We offer a set concession (typically $3600) which is simply applied to the buyers closing costs, doesn't trigger rent rate appraisal, and doesn't exceed 6% FHA max allowables.Once you try to use a rent credit to "just reduce the sales price" it creates a mess.

Is there anything else you guys would recommend to protect the 10% i am putting in  Almost certainly will trigger your loan's due on sale clause.

Each new roommate triggered a new roommate agreement, but my primary was always on the hook to me.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger and getting my first investment property, but I'm torn on how to go about this; condo or SFR in a hot rental neighborhood.

We looked there when buying our home, but weren't able to pull the trigger.

Don't be afraid to say no to a bad deal, and don't be afraid to pull the trigger on a good one!!!

The buyer needs to get a loanSo if the property appraises for $100K in the future, it is helpful that the purchase price be at $100K.I have set the purchase price of an option to be a trigger of.....The purchase price of this option shall be the the greater of an appraisal from Wells Fargo Bank dated on or before the expiration of said option or $100,000.00, whichever is greater.You should always have a contract attorney review your docs.

I have a deal on the table and I really need some strong opinions and advice before pulling the trigger.

Hope it helps. http://www.peoples-law.org/keeping-your-house-out-tax-sale Call your county government and inquire if there are any programs available to assist you.For Baltimore City residents If you have received an incorrect water bill, contact the Department of Public Works and request an information conference.If you have had a water leak, contact the Department of Public Works and request a credit.If you a Baltimore City resident, 65 or older and have a maximum income of $25,000, you can qualify for a Low Income Senior Citizens Water Discount, which may reduce your water bill by 35%.For any billing issues including obtaining credits, call the Department at 410-396-5398.If you are having issues paying your electric bill (which does not trigger a tax sale), you can apply for energy assistance.

This seller almost sold using a wholesaler so the audit could have triggered somebody having to come up with that "extra" set of transfer tax if they used a "wholesaler friendly" title company.
