That's why I added the part in parentheses -- if the politician is subject to term limits, his goal is going to be to get a successor from his own political party into office for the next term.I actually think second terms are a good thing for a President, as fighting for your legacy is going to involve doing smarter things than fighting for your re-election.

You can choose not to join that dog fight.

In addition, getting the HOA to address and pay for HOA-related issues that directly affect your unit (bad foundation, chronically leaking roof, crumbling wingwall) is a time-intensive, often fruitless process.The problem at the middle/upper-middle income complexes is that you still have people on the board who have no business directing a management company and each member fights to get what they want and not necessarily what is best for the complex.

Morning ladies/gentleman,We have been fighting with cold water and resolving some issues in our units over cold water in the past few months on a property we just picked up.When replacing and redoing water systems we have both nat gas and electric (offpeak) available for water.

I've been fighting to get this place for 2 months (issues with bank not wanting to lend), and was super excited this morning going to home depot planning everything out....sigh.

Alternatively I just give a very small deposit like $10 so if it turns out I have to walk, I son't have to fight to get my deposit back.

(I'm in the middle of a deal right now where the family is fighting and backstabbing each other over a few $, so you never know)I would definitely have a title check though, there can be a mechanics lien or something goofy...

I also realized that I simply cannot fight the law and must get a broker with a license to give it seal of approval.

They certainly offered to allow me to back out of the deal, despite the fact that the addendum indicated that they didn't have to (though my attorney thought we may be able to fight that in court).Regardless, I often put down $5K, $10K or even the full purchase price of the property in EM...while it does pose a little bit of risk that the cash will be tied up if the seller can't get clear title, I believe the rewards (getting some great deals over other buyers with higher offers and lower EM) was well worth it...
