That means there's no deal unless the seller pays the 25k out of pocket (not going to happen)As for the contract being recorded, most people don't bother with it because it requires both parties signatures to be notarized.

Keith,The question is, do you want to be bothered with it while you are away?

I have worked as a regional manager for many companies and been to fair housing training over the years and while most small landlords will never have to deal with a HUD complaint no matter what they do, those that have will wish they never heard of HUD.If I had taken a bunch of applications and picked the ones I liked for an apartment building I would have been unemployed possibly the same day.So what starts a HUD investigation, “they won’t bother with me because I only own a dozen units right?”  

Unless you are having problems renting it, I wouldn't bother. 

I get the feeling that some people don't even bother to read it thoroughly.

Also, we could rent points for around $700 from other members, book Marina Dunes, and make an even larger profit, but I haven't bothered with any of that yet as it seems like too much busywork. 

Should probably read their rules before you bothered with lawyers.

Because I would rather have money in case an opportunity rolls up instead of rushing to pay down a 3.375% loan that doesn't bother me for my financials every year, I am keeping my primary mortgage. 

Not telling it’s not going to work cause it’s the mls you haven’t even bothered to try mls have you?

It wouldnt bother me a bit .
