@Cari Childers It makes it more complicated to borrow from banks with an LLC.

I've never transacted with a wholesaler before, how much does that complicate the process? 

I am studying for my license currently in the hope's of getting into investing and also chicago has the law were u can't buy more than one property at a time without having a realestate license.Sounds like you have a complicated situation that is going to take a bit of time to work through.

This is going to be even further complicated by you having a property on the east side of Cleveland.

In most cases, neither is warranted.Warning: I am not an attorney and this can be a complicated topic.

The only thing that complicates everything is that the house is attached to another house that we don't own (we are in talks with that homeowner to make sure everything goes smooth), and it is two different insurance companies.I'm really posting on behalf of my dad, this is his first time owning a home and he still lives up in NY. thanks

This workforce housing thing is very complicated here on Maui.Thank you for the tips!

So you have to go through a complicated process to get the buyer out if they will default. 

That may determine whether the offer will be written by you on State forms or if it will be written by the rep on a different contract. a builder’s contract may have terms about the appraisal where a low appraisal requires the buyer to bring any amount differential to the table at closing, especially if there are a lot of upgrades over base materials.Builders rarely negotiate on price but you may be able to negotiate some upgrades for your buyers, like quality of appliances, garage door openers, fixtures.If the project isn’t completed, your buyer ‘may’ be allowed to make some choices in materials, upgrades and cosmetic options.I would arrange a few walkthroughs to observe the progress before completion, with the buyers.Delays in construction and State required inspections, certificate of occupancy and cost of materials can complicate closing, such as a builder changing the price or the buyer’s rate lock running out of time and what it costs the buyers to extend it.Still recommend inspections to your buyers as new construction doesn’t guarantee things are in perfect condition, although builders typically have a window of time whereby they will correct what’s found by the new owners after closing, as well as some guarantees over time.Some builders have preferred lenders and Title companies - although the buyers don’t have to use them, they typically make for a smoother transaction and may provide discounts.If your buyers are loyal, and they happen to speak with a builder or builder rep without you, hopefully they won’t take the bait if the rep says they’ll get a deal if they leave you out.

It's pretty complicated and I've read differing opinions on the topic.
