Howdie folks.. bit of a newb question here..When selling a property, is the seller obligated to disclose any repairs that were done by the properties previous owners, or is the current owners obligation only to disclose issues or repairs that occurred since they assumed ownership of the property?

Most experienced investors advise having an operating fund set aside so that you don't end up on the foreclosure list should unexpected expenses occur or you lose a tenant.  

How soon they file their "final title"  after closing has occurred.

The questions are going to occur anyways, so I will give disclosure, unless I am doing a double close and then it is not of their business. 

With more severe weather and sea level rise actually occurring faster than conservative models (which I don't think FEMA even accounts for in their new maps), there is a valid reason FEMA is trying to stop subsidizing flood insurance in certain areas as it's just too costly and has created too much development that likely would not have occurred without the availability of cheap flood insurance rates that real insurance companies wouldn't offer.  

@James Peterson I've been in this business neatly 40 years and never heard anyone using 'FTD'for 1st TD.No harm, just confusing.Absent a super-priority judgment occuring as the result of a buyer somehow buying a property subject to an existing AJ (abstract) with purchase money in junior position, your 1st TD remains. 

If you're really unsure, there's no harm waiting a few months to see what happens with the market and/or your job. 

I am somewhat nervous, but trying my best to ignore that and get the correct information to make this transaction occur as smooth as possible.

No harm in reaching out to other agents; but also following up with this agent...I've followed up right away with people (or have had others do likewise to me) but the e-mail never sent correctly, think I hit send on a text but didn't, didn't post correctly, etc.  

If you a rental with 1 - 4 units (including single family homes and condos), registration deadlines will occur on a rolling basis determined by the rental property's zip code, with the first deadline due by June 30th, 2015.
