This is industry standard, so many brokers/advisors simply work as part of investor relations, so fees aren't increased by working via a broker. 

We for instance, use a number of title companies (run by licensed attorneys) that have their own standard wholesaling contracts that have the appropriate disclosures and close them regularly. 

Hi Whitney,Talk to an attorney local to the property.You might be able to get a financial judgement (trebled).Step one might be to get three bids on (comparable) replacement systems.American Standard, Bryant, Carrier, Lennox and Trane are names of some furance and A/C (HVAC) manufactures.And realize a new furnace A/C (HVAC) might force you to change the thermostats too (or not).Trying to figure out costs on this yourself (with any resprayed insulation up there) might be pretty tough, (plus you have to buy whatever new refrigerant is required in your area--and the new stuff can be very very expensive).You might be able to pick the brand you like best, or the one fastest installed vs the cheapest...ask an attorney.Also, in a financial judgement, you have to collect...lien their wages or bank accounts (to the extent you are allowed to do so by THEIR Locality).

@Ralph Ace  When I was practicing in Mass and Maine, the guidance was that the report was the property of the person who paid for it - normally the buyer.Other parties could ask for it, but it would be standard practice to ask them to pay for it.That said, the seller would be required to disclose any defects that were uncovered in the inspection.

What you are looking for from the Planner is a site plan that shows the footprints of the buildings that compose the Project, access (ingress/egress points) and internal roads and improvements.Once you have the plan noted above, the Civil Engineer can use it to determine the lineal feet of wet and dry on and off site utilities.

Looking for percentage amounts, and my current standard is 18.5%.Thanks for taking the time to read. and I hope to make good connections and learn a lot more here than I could alone! 

Just your standard MLS with an agent deal.

I think a detailed schedule is important regardless if it is in a gannt format or standard calendar format.

When tenants want to set up a payment plan, three months is my standard.
