On 12 -11-13 had agreed price from bank and sign general as is contract.My agent received email from listing agent on Jan 2nd just waiting for bank to send official contract, but was a done deal.

If we go ahead and put the property under contract we will often pay for an official inspection.

Brian, there are renditions of CFBP rulings, articles written and interpretations all over the internet.The only information investors should be studying would be the Act itself and those past a current rulings along with publications, nothing else.Those who have never had formal legal training will find much of the official information to be a difficult read due to many of the references given as they will need to look up those references and be able to interpret the applicability of related rulings and law.

I bet you're now officially hooked on real estate.

Was just interesting to me since I saw it as RS3 which I thought means single family only but maybe you guys are referencing more official sources that show accurate zoning for an address@paul @Paul De Luca , if the assessor site shows a property as “apartments” for description even if it’s use is listed as single family, then that means it’s actually a legal multi unit and can be turned into 2 units?

I used bank debt for 80% of the "official" purchase price, maxed out the seller credits to net out to the price we had initially agreed on ($219k), and used USAA's career starter loan program for new Army officers for ~8% of additional LTV on the HUD price (at only 2.99% interest!).

I sent an official lease termination letter (email & physical) to the other tenant letting them no that they no longer had a least and would like them to vacate the property as of August giving plenty of  to figure things out. 

You could write and record an easement giving the neighbor official control and responsibility for the maintenance of that driveway.

I'm looking for something that is not necessarily "official" as costs do change.

The official term is "capitalized."
