It is perfect for me to sit at here while I am at my job, and make use of my time.

It makes perfect sense in a vacuum.

Unfortunately, the HOA was preparing to go after the sellers and was in the midst of perfecting a lien with the hopes of eventually turning it into a judgment when your husband stepped them in and paid them off.Good Luck!

If you are really close to the day to operations - sometimes you need to take a break and get away from it all for stress relief.

If you wait for the perfect time when you feel you have sufficient knowledge and expertise you will never do it.

I understand you can get away with marginal quality materials, but where does and doesn't this apply?

I know that there are people here who have said this isn't legal, but no one has ever been able to provide any evidence that a deed restriction such as this is in violation of any law.Deed restrictions are perfectly legal, and restricting resales through a deed restriction is nothing out of the ordinary, and not just with REO sales (I have a friend who inherited a house when he was younger, and the house came with a deed restriction restricting his ability to sell the house until he was a certain age).I don't know any way around the restriction, and while I don't know for certain what the penalty might be, I would assume they could come after any profits at the very least.

Most high-volume agents will do anything to get away from the signing/scanning to save valuable time, but not that relevant for your immediate situation.Also, if there turns out to be several initialed revisions through a counter-offer process, it's good practice to create a "clean" final version of the contract at the end of the negotiation and have all parties sign.

You've handled it perfectly so far, offering $ to get out is exactly what I would have done.

People, like myself love these reality shows where people go looking for their perfect dream home while being led by the friendly local real estate agent on this nearly impossible task.Recently a friend of mine was given the opportunity to be in the background as an extra on "My First Home".
