But he warned me it's not fool proof, the seller can choose not to sell, and wait me out.

Zillow Credit Scores are not only wrong, they are totally random!! When you hit print on a Zillow Application Credit Score, you get a different result every single time. WTH!!  Can someone explain this?I tested this s...

I would hope you do that as a matter of course here, anyway.Few, I suspect, read the sticky post warnings.

I’ve been hiring offshore for years for software development and I’ve found it’s very difficult to find someone good and the turnover is really high (they can go dark at any point without warning).

Our realtor also warned us that studios are hard to sell and don't hold as much value as a 1+ bedroom condos.

Thanks again for the advice and warning.

I have never heard of them, but I know that I have seen many, many warnings about any company that asks you to send money ahead of time.

A title company is not involved in the transaction, but it is highly advisable to get a thorough title search done in advance to warn of any other liens, etc.  

Also I have been seeing a financial adviser and he warns to put 20% down instead of the 3.5% an FHA loan would give me, I still want to have as little money as in the house as I can have to a reasonable extent.
