I think the key part I want to clarify is that the existing tenant was still under a rental contract for 2 days after we closed on the house. 

This property was listed at $149,500 and we got it under contract at 100k. 23707 Russell Rd., Bay Village, OH 44140We are looking at two strategies on this one.

Hello everyone,Do anyone know of any title companies that handle assignment contracts in the Chicago area?

I write my own addendums  let me tell you how quite simpleon wordat the top in 14 point   center the word ADDENDUMunder that put  RE:   and the property addressunder that put the terms of the addendum  IE   purchase price to be  XXX all other terms to remain the samethen put sig  line and  date  that's all that needs to be done.. its just telling the parties what is going to change in the original contract..

It is called due diligence and if they do not provide you/your lender with the information needed during the due diligence period, you should be able to walk away depending on how your contract is written. 

Just need to have it contracted 10 days before sale usually.

The problem is unless you are the owner occupant everything involving a trade must be contracted with a city approved and licensed firm.

We met with each of them and reviewed their contracts, making sure we were all on the same page.

I was already in contract to buy a house and foolishly started “browsing” petfinder for dogs.

There are also forums on various strategies to finance the acquisition/purchase of a property including creative financing options like seller financing, lease options, purchasing subject to, land contracts, etc.
