How about the standard (easily understood) progression?

NC, like other states, provide what Iwould call "standard" sample leases that are publicly available.

This is a standard maneuver for characters that live in these areas.

Here in Vegas I am finding the standard is around 20% down.

As a newbie, I don't have a standard due diligence list to send as part of providing offers.

Also the recent comps are $240,000 (for a great renovation), $225,000 (for a pretty good rehab....nice kitchen, nice bathrooms, good curb appeal, standard everything else), $190,000 (for average rehab.....basic, cut on finishing materials, etc.).

Also the cost of doing a warranty deed transfer for each property (I'm not sure if a quitclaim is an effective way of transferring in this situation).Alternatively, maybe she could leave the houses in her name and get a general liability, commericial or blanket policy that covers more than the standard umbrella policy?

Is there any standard form for that or should I just type up few lines myself?

Pretty much, you have to remember this is not too high end of a home based on Southern California standards.

You can go on sites such as FSBO.com & pay about $500 & they will give the buyer's agent the standard 2.5% right now.Not sure where 6% of purchase price for attorney comes from.
