Improving a property is great, but you need to be able to balance renovations with cost.

I'm strictly talking about equity earned by making mortgage payments (reducing your principal balance) versus positive cash flow.  

**Escrow balance has been calculated into the price and will transfer to the Buyer along with title.

They did a nice balance of making the home feel full and livable yet without clutter. 

One property that I really do have some interest in has a low balance of 105k.

One needs to find balance through yoga, exercise or just quiet time, and the secret that NYers know is that we all take that time.  

The husband's credit history was really short: one charged off utility account which I could not understand (the account was closed by customer at the end of 2014 but got a balance from July 2015 - Oct 2015 but later on charged off by the utility company), another one is a big phone bill on collection but they disputed and settled(paid) on an amount less than the balance.

She has built a real estate investing business from little money to being wealthy by balancing negative and positive cashflowing properties.

Since I assigning I am not sure if the attorney has to1) prepare for closing2) obtain title work (I can as the cost it's minimal but not necessary)3) preparation and review of closing documents4) Representation at closing.5) recording of the documents6) obtaining the title policy.She also went on to say that once we are out of attorney review the assignment is complete.I am not too thrilled by her lack of knowledge of Assignment of Contract.The service I require is1) review purchase contract in attorney review stage2) once out of attorney review, I want her to draft an Assignment of contract and send it to the buyer's attorney and collect the deposit for the assignment.3) buyer will then conduct his inspection and if all goes will schedule a close with the seller.4) At closing, the buyer will wire or send a certified check towards the balance of the assignment fee, I do not thing my attorneyneeds to be at the closing.
