Is it common for the buyers agent to charge a fee to the buyers?

If it is a master planned community with a large common areas (perhaps a pool) and extensive landscaping could also be in that category.   

Manager handles the common area lawn and snow shoveling. 

Neil,A couple questions to clarify the situationDoes your Townhouse share a common wall with the other property? 

If I were them and I was presented with those two offers I would first need to determine my capital gains liability, and if it was low enough I’d choose the seller financed route and then give you notice a day after closing that I want you to cash me out.My suggestion: simplify.

First time the rent is 5 days late, have the property management company have the eviction notice put on the door to start the 30 days.The tenants won't likely be late again when they know you ain't play'n games!

The appropriate action for you to take is to serve the tenant with a Pay or Quit notice for March rent.

Maybe as a tenant in common.

I've lived through two of them and prospered greatly in the first-oil market collapse in the '80s, and survived handily during the second-investment banker's scam of the 2000s.The first time I paid cash I noticed the first benefit at closing when I looked at the HUD-1.

For the floors, I'm thinking about vinyl in the kitchen and bathrooms, laminate in the living rooms and common areas and carpet in the bedrooms and on the steps.
