So my last post seemed a little empty, here's are some add ons for you.Things you might want to try:[1] empty a room in your house and make it your dedicated office--paint or wallpaper it just like your old office--same stuff on the walls, etc...[2] Put in a desk like you had when you were working--spend the money to get what makes you feel productive.[3] Get a very comfortable desk chair you can sit in for hours a day.[4] It's COVID time, so use ZOOM to make some calls when you would normally meet in person.[5] If you're a drinker, put a mini-bar in your office so you stay put there vs going to the kitchen for a beer and getting side tracked.[6] When you're burnt out on a task, have some kind of fallback use of your time, such as reading an ebook about the business.[7] Eat breakfast everyday before going into the office and take a lunch break (if you are non-COVID afraid then go out for lunch 5 days a week).[8] Make the office your daily base of operations vs just your home.[9] Make a Vision Board on Excel.[10] If a computer CRM is not your friend--buy and use a Roldex from ebay.Just my 2 cents.

Assuming that you have a properly formed contract, the short answer is that they can refuse to perform, but there will be consequences.Those consequences normally play out in court, so it's not normally worth the cost to pursue it. 

It is normal to not have access to units until you are under contract with the seller and it is normal to include an inspection contingency in your offer.

There is normally a warranty in real estate contracts for specific items as well.The reality is: If you are buying your first property, what are the chances you identify something that the professionals cannot?

I’ve helped check on a property for clients before but that’s not a normal thing agents offer because that’s not their specialty.

They normally charge a customer the walk in price, and pocket the savings they get from their relationship w/ the supply store.I think we are the #1 customer at our markets Home Depot.   

If you google Rental Property Calculator that's what I normally use to get my numbers

And yes, I have a CPA, but There’s always more than one way to skin a cat!

That gazebo are normally for topical locations that do not receive such blasting heat like Arizona.

Think again.Sell a building at an outrageous price before the market normalizes, reinvest by buying up, buying more, buying a catamaran, or buying stock to preserve and build your wealth until the market normalizes, and then buy some more.My clients have been awestruck by the prices they've been able to sell buildings for in this market.
