If one is also an agent, the Adddition Provisions section would also seem to demand disclosures, if that is where they go.

Full disclosure...this would be my first deal ever.I've started mailing yellow letters to absentee owners...

Since I am committed to my new venture as a real estate investor, I would like to have full disclosure with the BP community.

Nor does it mean they got it in your rental, or that your tenant is telling the truth.In pre-1987 residences (or 1978, I always forget which), HUD requires LBP disclosures by the LL and that new tenants be given a HUD pamplet on LBP.

I think what Lou is saying about unethical or fraudulent is that in some states using the double closing where the end-buyer funds are used for closing without full-disclosure to all parties can be considered fraudulent.

I paid a Real Estate laywer who called my agent and demanded that they release the HUD docs, Disclosure statement docs and the rest.

Also I have seen that you always want FULL disclosure and get everyone on the same page.

You should always practice full disclosure, let the seller know that you work with other investors and sometines you'll assign the contract just to simply things. 

Make sure you have all the protective clauses in your contract - the seller should sign the the lead paint wavier and the Maryland Disclosures form.

That could have been a really ugly case but luckily I was able to get that one resolved without legal action against new property owner.I mentioned the death disclosure and I know all states don't have this but they do have it in CA and I have worked at multiple properties where deaths in apt. units were not disclosed.
