After the closing, the attorney will hold funds in escrow until checks clear, settle any outstanding liens, record the deed, and then disburse funds to the seller.  

It is a good place to purchase homes outright currently as the cashflow can be outstanding.

With the highway changes and traffic flow adjustments housing choice in and of Portsmouth is as well.Many blessings on your moves and future Hun.Sheria 

After paying off all the outstanding property tax liens and utility liens, he isn't taking away much at all.Thanks for all the input and feedback.Mark

I love the fact that I can live in an affordable, easy to get around, medium sized city like Milwaukee and be able to just hop on the highway and be in a real BIG CITY in a little over an hour, whenever I want!

We spoke to the owners about the managers - efficiency, cost control, trustworthiness, etc.After all that, we narrowed it down to this one management company owned by a wonderful woman who has been outstanding, and now her d-i-l is also doing an outstanding job.I do not think it is possible to select a good property manager simply by interviewing them.

(sadly a high percentage of crooks) How they get paid or even whether they choose to get paid has little correlation to whether they are any good.PS: I mean no disrespect to Wheatie as he regularly gives outstanding advice here for free.

The goods thing is, though, as time matches on, any increase in rates will be on the lower outstanding balance.

Those purchases likely have outstanding cash flow today.  

My agent says he never heard of it taking longer than 2 weeks in his 30 years of real estate.Yeah, if there are no other outstanding conditions, a week, or maybe a week and a half after appraisal comes back, if you just let things sit on auto pilot and sail through.
