- I have been told it is easier on sellers to use a standard real estate purchase agreement from office depot as it is not intimidating to sellers and it makes them more comfortable, what are your thoughts?

My realtor is also a commercial investor and says the rate options are pretty standard for the area banks.

If you pay them less than the standard deduction for any calendar year, they don't even need to file a return.A lot of folks say not to bother, but I say how can you run a business you've never built?

This, of course, presumes that you have signed a contract with the normal inspection contingency stuff & specified HOA paperwork review in place (I'm assuming your state's standard contracts have this stuff; confirm with your agent).

I have all the paperwork from the sellers but wanted to know if there was a standardized source everyone gets their stuff from to compare everything.

She'll be doing the standard buy and sell for clients (another question: is the split between broker and agent negotiable?)

After walking through it, to get it up to our standards we would need to put 30-50k into it right away or asap for renovations on outdated kitchens and bathrooms.

Secondarily, any feedback about using this standard contract https://development.ohio.gov/cleanohio/GreenSpaceC.. would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a good rule of thumb that my custom shower door guy told us on our jobs: With standard thickness of glass ( I believe 1/4" to 3/8" thick) the price was $280 to $380 per every one foot horizontally, not vertically, on swinging shower doors (not sliders).  

If those repair costs to bring the house up to standards are way too high for me and the seller is not willing to come down on price , can I walk away?
