Working with lenders when refinancing is much easier because you already own the property so there is no time crunch if/when fees arise that are higher than estimated or never previously disclosed; you are able to simply say "no thank you" and move on.

But there are obvious issues that might arise from serving in a dual role: the need for a retainer agreement, the need to fully disclose to the client which hat you are wearing and when, conflicts of interest, restrictions on attorney advertising, etc.I myself am not asking for legal advice, just for someone with relevant experience to point me in the right direction, either through a post or over the phone.Thanks,Clark

They didn't have quite enough cash to pay for a lot of the inspections that I asked for during negotiations so I came out with a large lump-sum of cash that the sellers paid out in order to cover any unexpected costs that might arise.

They are popular nationwide wholesaler and definitely got everything covered for their own protection.

It is a very popular destination most of the year for vacationing.

Given how popular the area is over the summer, the short-term rental could provide a significant offset to mortgage payments.
