I have a variety of loans, but the weighted average interest rate is 5.7%.

A cruise through the MLS revealed a few possibilities.A full 2/3 of those listings have a land area that disagreed with what the county assessor said was there.

Near the 8-plex are a variety of run down boarded up apartments.

My wife and I have put out several offers on a variety fo flavors - REO, HUD, Short Sale.No luck in getting one accepted yet, but something will pop soon.I have a question for those that use a higher EM amount.

I know already the seller will know my fee revealed on the HUD-1, but think he'll be OK as long as I'm not too greedy.Appreciate any feedback or suggestions, especially if you've done something similar.

We have been active in the "buy-and-hold" model for several years; we have standard contract language regarding inspections (i.e. termite) that if its revealed that additional repairs/treatment is needed, the seller must remedy or the deal could fail.

Dual agent can not do any thing because of the dual agent agreement: they can not provide suggestions and can not reveal any information about the seller.An independent buyer agent can at least help me negotiate and give me private information if he has any.

Your assignment agreement obviously much have a price/fee that they are paying you, for a specific agreement on a specific property, so the assignment agreement by itself reveals your fee/spread. 

For example, I am from the East Coast originally but have decided I want to purchase on the West Coast so have been looking at Oregon for a variety of reasons.  

If the inspection reveals something crazy and you don't want to deal with it, i.e. mold, asbestos, termites... you can say no thanks2) Re-negotiate the offer.
