My husband and I feel like in essence, they are acting within their professions of realtor & contractor and that their compensation should simply be the commission from the purchase and sale of the property, and the contractor fee for managing the renovation.

There is a Whole Foods in the area, that says something.

Her agent couldn't convince her to do the change and today the title company emailed us saying she canceled the contract and she's not willing to sale on anything .I have a meeting with a lawyer on Thursday , I was trying to see if someone was in this situation and what was the outcome

The other option is a Heier all in one combo unit, which washes and drys in the same machine, but I was warned by the appliance guy that they are expensive to fix, and the new ones come out to about $1100 now on sale with taxes and delivery included.  

Do you buy and stock yourself or have a company manage it and you just take a percent of sales?

Suggested legal language for Purchase and Sale Contract: Seller and Buyer each acknowledge that in connection with Buyer’s application for approval to assume the loan(s) currently encumbering the property (the “Loan Assumption”) certain items must be delivered to __________________ [INSERT NAME OF LOAN SERVICER] (“Servicer”) so that Servicer may timely process the request for Loan Assumption.

At BP, not only can you network with other real estate investors, you can learn from the informative forums posted daily on the site, find properties that are for sale, and take free courses.

Now you run the risk of the bank calling the loan due if they find out about this transaction happening and if you quit claim deed a property off market then you might have problems with the sale of the property and more signatures may be required by the old owner in order to sell and you will assume any liens/encumbrances the old owner has you might miss since you didn't have a title company transfer title.

Hi BP, Is it recommended to reach out to an attorney for tax sale purchases in order to properly secure asset?
