Looking at the property info from the Bell County Website, it lists my mom as having 100% ownership and in the deed history it is listed as Warranty Deed as of 10/15/1984.Does this mean that my mother has a clear title and can legally sell the house?

Pure bunk.If you could do the following:* create a website for TBers to leave their info* get door hangers and flyers and bandit signs up for TBer to be driven to Web Page* get TBers money together, whether it is a loan from Household Finance, or loan from their parents, what ever* convince the Seller that the sales price is a new appraisal, period, at the time the TBer gets financing approved and funding letter is typed up* learn about credit reports and clearing negative marks (Fair Credit Reporting Act, FTC, etc)* have a goal where 10% down payment is arrived to get good rates* have the seller pay closing costs* you as an agent get 3% now, 3% when it closesThe challenge is helping both the seller and TBer get a win win, not easy.i.e.

Its my humble opinion, but i think your time is better spent raising money than combing through countless websites and papers talking to unlrealistic and unreasonable sellers for good deals.all the personal investing i've done in the last couple years has been with family and/or syndications, and i spend more time speaking with potential investors than i do with sellers.When you've put together a good chunk of cash for down investment the brokers and agents will work very hard for you to find those great deals and motivated sellers.

Not sure it does if you're keeping it as a rental.Just send he a letter saying you're raising the rent effective some date.

If you have proof you mailed them the check within the time required, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.If you don't have said proof, you might want to send them a certified letter, return receipt requested, informing them of the deductions and then note the date the check was mailed, the check number, bank it was drawn on, etc. and state your bank will not honor a check that is more than six months old.

Also, is the end date of the contract always a fixed date (e.g. we will sell the house exactly 3 years from now) or is it more of an option to sell anytime before the expiration?
