Jon Klaus Doing your own inspection before selling new construction.
17 February 2015 | 5 replies
I've adopted a standard method for handling buyer's inspections.If they come up with anything they would like fixed/changed I negotiate a reduction in price to cover it.I learned that after I spend time and money addressing their concerns they can still bail based solely on their subjective view.This way I don't have to worry about it, no re inspection is necessary, and the sale is it delayed.A lot of the time the buyer won't even spend a dime on the inspection concerns.Just like you don't have to spend the insurance company check on your slightly dented fender.

State the lower price with the balance due from the seller or crediting him with him making a note to you.You could pay the interest and he pays the principle reduction say for 90 days or what ever you agree to.You can also simply contract for the work to be done.
Account Closed Tech Startup is Buying Single Family Rentals (Phoenix, Dallas, Portland)

Chris Adams Buying 23 fully developed lots - do I need an attorney?
5 June 2014 | 11 replies
You need an engineer more than an attorney on that.The short sale will be rather straight forward, it's a principal reduction not really a SS as homeowners would go through, you should be able to review the buyer side without much concern.If you have legals on each lot the development headaches are pretty much over.
