Many of our buyers are coming from international markets.We enjoy JV relationships to expedite the closing of transactions and I've come to this forum to network, increase my knowledge and share the wealth.

CD's and Bonds aren't as sexy as real estate but a good financial advisor can make your Grandparents savings last the rest of their life.Hope I have helped by telling you about this little experience in my life and I wish your Grandparents a long healthy and enjoyable life.

I know that I could pick up three or four rental properties now and have a great headstart on financial security, but a part of me really wants to just enjoy the lake.

If someone can tag him, he is extremely knowledgeable and really enjoys talking about energy efficiencies.

Enjoy your day all!

Seller financing is where I've enjoyed the mist benefits.

I hope you are doing well and enjoying time with family.

No, because a) that might be their luxury/vice item for all I know, which is 100% fine if it's viewed as a luxury item that they just really personally enjoy and gain happiness from (it's much less harmful than other vices, like drugs or gambling!)

Welcome aboard, @Rafal Kowalczyk, enjoy!

@Jeremy Brown  good points.. but real estate is so regional.. like in your region  Sacramento Placer county etc.. the agent upon opening escrow would have gotten a preliminary title report back from teh title company within 3 to 5 days.. once that is received it would clearly state at the bottom of the report if anyone other than the title owner had an interest they would need to proof themselves up and sign. so in other parts of the country ( and I find this particularly frustrating) especially attorney closing states.. they will not pull title until way deep into the transactions. ( reason they have to pay an abstractor up front to pull title ) and if the deal fails they don't want to be on the hook for the abstractor fee so you don't find out that you have an issue with title many times very close to closing date and this leads to massive frustrations on the buyers side.. ( at least it has for me in these instances. )But your correct the listing agent probably should have or did know that the seller was married and should have gone down those thought process's.. usually your in the home during the listing signup but i know now with docusign this may not be the case as much as it used to be.. as RE is moving away from much of the belly to belly aspects we enjoyed in the olden days
