I had not used him in the past.This person also tried to obtain money via a claim of completion on an insurance roofing job.  

So they are on the high end but that make sense if they are claiming that pricing is at par and they are only charging 1%.

yes, because we were getting no where negotiating with each other and she had no money to hire a lawyer or so she claimed.

They will hire a local inspector to do the inspection and then issue you a policy that says if the inspector missed anything, you file a claim for damages with them and they will pay it.  

Hi Everyone, i'm doing my first cash out Refi and was quoted at 4.75 initially but now lender claims because I asked for 80% ltv cash out that it may climb up to 5%.

If I log the requisite 750 hours of real estate-related work a year and claim to be a professional investor, can I use my tax deductions from real estate to offset my spouse's ordinary income?  

In that instance, any rent that was due prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition is put into the tenant’s bankruptcy plan and is treated as a secured claim to be paid at 100%.

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, I came up with this plan, which, I am sure, many of you have used already, so can not claim it as creative, but like to get your opinion on pros and cons of this concept.I was looking at hardmoney loans, so if I borrow 100K at 10%, I pay $1000 a month, $6000 for 6 months, so If I can buy, and fix a property say in 150K neighborhood for 100k, put it out for rent, refinance at it's comp of 150K, so, at 75% of 150k, for $112,500,(after closing may be around 105K), pay off the hard money, so pretty much at a price of the closing cost, I can get an investment property.Please let me know if you see anything wrong in this process.

I asked the owner to file a claim with his insurance company during our option period and he refused.

You can qualify either by meeting a set of standard requirements (the “safe harbor” provisions) or by showing enough facts and circumstances to validate your claim.
