And tried and after that sentenced to 125 years in prison or possibly the death penalty :mrgreen:

In this extraordinary feat of reporting and ethnography, Desmond has made it impossible ever again to consider poverty in the United States without tackling the central role of housing.I didn't even make it to the end of the first sentence before I, quite literally, started laughing hard enough to make my wife curious.

A single sentence would have sufficed:"Free valuation sites such as Zillow and Trulia are no substitute for doing your own valuation research and ought never be used alone to make investment decisions"

Sorry for the run on sentence, but that is exactly how I've done it...Good luck to you!

Again, your disclosure could be as simple as checking one (or a few) "YES" boxes in Section 4 of the Seller's Disclosure (the one you'll use here in Georgia), and then adding a quick one sentence of detail to substantiate the work done.If you include a sentence about, "All work was completed by a licensed and bonded foundation repair company and all work is warrantied for the life of the structure," I would think that most (though probably not all) buyers would be okay with it.The other key is that you're planning to sell below market (and I assume the interior will be renovated as well).

All the books I have read said that last sentence is the worst thing you can do.

For instance on a HUD house: "HUD-9548, Sales Contract, dated 1/99, contains a warning to anyone who makes a false statement that he or she may be subject to a fine not to exceed $250,000 and/or a prison sentence of not more than two years"

It was long but there was something to say after reading each sentence.

One served a 5 year sentence when convicted, the other plead quilty, was fined $200,000 and is on probation.
