Ironically, I would walk away with what I put in - $150k.I would like to buy a SFH or preferably a duplex where the monthly cash flow could be about $150 - $200.

Ironically, most books don’t advise on how to handle the challenges because that likely doesn’t sell as many copies of the ‘feel good’ variety but good information and how people figured out the challenges is out there if you look hard enough.  

Read section 21 of the CA Residential Purchase Agreement (assuming you transacting on this document).I've not been through mediation or arbitration myself, but if the buyer removed all contingencies when he submitted the offer, then cancelled, AND you suffered actual damages (a subsequently reduced sale price), your case seems pretty iron-clad to me.I believe you can enter mediation and arbitration without a lawyer, so I say go for it!

Hi all,I have a contractor friend I really like who, ironically,is getting his rent raised significantly so he is looking to buy a 2 family in Malden, Medford, Revere, or Everett.

If you are ever in the Memphis market, let me know-  we know where to get the best BBQ. 

Americast is American Standard's updated alternative to a cast iron enamel bathtub.

Do they routinely change out cast iron plumbing, aluminum wiring, test for lead-based paint?

I've only ever used for bathroom walls/floors before tiling or creating an outdoor bbq before faux bricking, etc.
