To expand on what Kyle wrote, a bedroom usually needs a window for both ventilation and as an escape in the event of fire.

The lender could decide that your deal doesn't meet their qualifications, the lender could go out of business, the lender could run out of money, etc.If you are relying on someone else to provide the cash (even if it's your best friend, your brother, your parents, etc), it's not a cash deal, as the cash is not guaranteed to be in your account when you need it to be.Your agent did the right thing...and as Jon alluded to, with many cash offers, you'll be required to put 10% of the purchase price down as earnest money -- can you afford to do that?

My brother wants to sell RE for a local builder that is selling huge Squ/ft for cheap and selling well.

I'd be willing to offer them an escape clause in the lease, or just start off month-to-month, but I haven't been able to get anyone interested enough to even get to that point.

My brother has expressed interest in doing some of the work on our rehabs, now that we're investing in his neck of the woods.

Hello, currently I am living with my parents and brother in our house.

My brother and I just started REI recently and we've been hesitant to venture outside of a very narrow formula that we started with: particular city, particular side of town, price range, x, etc.

If I transfer a unit to my brother in the form of a general warranty deed I will void out the TI policy; but I would be able to sue him which would allow the policy to be active.

And last year, we decided to visit the brother-in-law at Christmas time.
