and is it common for them to pay some referral if the deal is turns out to be genuinely good? 

Hey everyone, looking for advice.We have owned a condo (3/2) for 10+ years and the market is now favorable for selling.We have had two full price offers both of which terminated during due diligence due to subtle structural damage, moisture, and rusting on the old cast iron pipes under the common building.  

Leaving $22,500.THESE NUMBERS ARE RANDOM.What is the common profit percentage split between your company and the Lender?

That's probably the  most common reason why financing on primary loans in condos fall apart.

It's very common to have a squeeky clean woman dating a "bad boy" with terrible credit and criminal history.

The common phrase I've heard over the years is the best time to buy real estate "was 10 years ago".If you buy with cash flow and have financing that doesn't have a short-term balloon, you should be able to ride out any storm and be positive on the other side.

@Chris Grenzig: it varies quite a bit based on what kind you want.

The most common issue I see is an investor, many out of state, buying properties in rougher neighborhoods because it's cheap, not realizing that it's active income and much more difficult to rent out and keep good tenants but there's also an issue finding legit contractors to work in those areas and they often will charge higher for the risk. 

What kind of deals.

Is the 6-12 month closing time normal for these kinds of large land deals?
