We're seeing an unfamiliar clause and wanted to verify that we're not making a mistake.The broker asks for a $500 fee (they say they reserve the right to retain/charge in its discretion, in any non-closing event to cover for its services).Is it common for a broker to ask a $500 fee out of the EMD in case we back off the offer?

Account Closed We're on the east coast, so there might be slight differences, but I've chatted with some folks over in your neck of the woods before and it seems roughly the same.This is our breakdown of how we find tenants:1.

Here's why.People are drawn to our area due to the absence of natural disasters, low property taxes, home prices close to the national median, and a thriving tech and research hub, coupled with the life sciences sector.Considering the ongoing influx of people and the likely rate adjustments announced by the Fed for later in this year, we anticipate prices actually  rising as buyers enter the market.

Often times, they are more than happy to help finance in their close proximity.Cheers!

We then aim to close on the replacement properties as soon as possible after the relinquished property closes.

Option one would be to assign the unwanted contract prior to closing and collect difference between the contract price I have and agreed to sales price with the assigned buyer and retain the desired property.

Talking to a few agents.Can someone guide me on the seller's closing cost details? 

One of my buddies just wrote on a property close by to this that had 42 offers on it. 

I’m about to close on a duplex (hopefully) in December.

I had it for 9 years and now I'm closing in on 200 rentals.
