Your first mistake was to offer them compensation when the septic is clearly not your fault.

The rent is the rent.. period.I would however compensate them for the hassle....gift card to dinner, movie, amazon...whatever.How much depends on how big of a hassle they went through and how long.

The interest rate is a little higher to compensate for it, but you will only have to cover closing costs.Good luck!

My state doesn't allow an unlicensed individual to be compensated.

Im looking to gain some experience on the job for little or no compensation.. knowledge is invaluable.

We still can t closed because sellers contractors need to finish some work (apparently due to damage from a tornado)Would I be entitled to back out or some sort of compensation ?

I had to sue to get reimbursed just my materials cost with no compensation for my time.

It states the seller will compensate.  

If they are mom and pop type tenants, you can usually collect gross rent in an amount a little bit above market rent so that you can pay the taxes and insurance yourself but you are compensated through their gross rent.

The reason I wonder if it's legal is if a finder's fee would be considered compensation to facilitate a real estate transaction, which would require a real estate license.
