For the record, I'm a real estate agent but I keep myself informed of the different lending programs out there so that I can pass that knowledge on to my clients. 

Sellers want to be on the MLS that covers the area where their home is located, so they can offer a commission to LOCAL buyer agents.2.

@Ayyoub Reza- thanks -  depending on how you file your taxes - you might ask this  question to a CPA ...if you file jointly - I would recommend  you  be the buyer of the  next rental .....this would posisbly allwo you to  avoid needing the document the  rental property 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

What do buyers' agents provide to the transaction?

You should call your insurance agent and change your policy from replacement value to purchase value.

The agent that helped us purchase the other half of the townhouse called us immediately when the listing came through.

Asking is $200K, my relative (buyer) looking to put 20% down.He is pre-approved for the amount, lender has prepared both a conventional loan and a mass housing loan option for first time buyers.Would be purchasing as an owner occupied "primary residence", rates are decent under both options.Condo is currently rented, tenant lease expires the end of August - roughly 4 months.Lender says both loan programs require buyer to occupy the unit within 60 days, to qualify for first time buyer deals.Is there a way to get them to extend this to 120 days (4 months) until the tenant lease is up?
