Basements are common here, so we make sure they are bone dry.

It was already fixed in the inside, and the problem was all the gutters flowed to a common point near the foundation and plainly visible if someone looked as the soil was washed away near the gutter drain.

Short contracts leave these out, leaving you high and dry when problems crop up.This appears to be a NJ standard document:New Jersey Real Estate Contract

RichOverall from the info that I've gathered the market is about at the bottom.And the potential deals are drying up.Most of the investors are in buy and hold status now.Waiting for appreciation in about 3-5 years.Would love to sit with you guys and pick your brains on the 10th if at all possible.If not could we meet at the summitt.I plan to take in your session.

i googled it & looks like soil mites & looks like they're harmless?

It's pretty reasonable & looks really good. takes about a weekend with the allowing drying time.i am in the middle of a rehab & there was no dishwasher. i can only squeeze in an 18" dishwasher but it will help with the rental pooli updated a ton of cabinets too...about $1200 with menard's (midwestern retail store).

:I hate to say it but I think she is covering up the lie she told you the first time.Yes, and if it's five days to close,closing documents could have ink drying and you can't change those with an addendum and no one wants to redo them, so expect to go to closing in your name, IMO.As to changing it later on, using a quit claim will weaken the chain of title, better to use a Special Warranty Deed subject to existing financing

My architectural style is a newer roof, a dry ceiling and dry floors.

A dry closing, that is where the funding to close the first escrow comes from the money funding the second escrow.

As for the general trends in the market, I think it's pretty likely things will tick up in the next year or two, if only because the foreclosure inventory will start to dry up, and the market will start to use natural competitive forces again.Over 5 years, I have a feeling interest rates will rise significantly (back to the 6-8% range), which will hurt transaction velocity (fewer people qualifying for loans), but I don't expect things will be as bad as they have been the past couple years.Now, if you go out 10 years, if the underlying issues in our economy haven't been fixed, I have a feeling that we'll have another major recession, perhaps bigger than the one we just started to dig out of, and that cycle will likely continue every 5-10 years or so until the underlying problems are solved.That's my pure opinion (guess)...
