I have a deal working and just waiting for owner to sign papers.

I have no idea how to deal with the earnest money deposit, the signing of contracts, the closing of the deal and how I would get paid.

(tip: craigs list, mls, bandit signs)..

An local architect is a good person to ask to see how likely it is that the variance will go through.Also, when applying for a variance you have to publicly announce it (in the paper or with a sign on the property) so any neighbors who may object have the opportunity to do so.

Since I have to sign on with an agency for two years before I get my Brokers License and presumably stay with one after I get it, how can I make this work?

I just returned from the lease signing for my 4th SFH...Im on cloud nine!!!

So depending on where this is, I could recommend give it a good cleaning, fix anything broken and put up a sign.

In addition, there is a garage the same size as the house underground, that can be accessed from either the right or the left of the house down long driveways.Investor posted sign in the yard with renderings for a house that is more than 3000 square feet.

I'd wait until I had a signed contract to do the title search, and then I'd let a title company / title attorney / closing agent do it.

For good tenants who were leaving a few days early, I'd work with them, do the walk-thru on the day they left, leave a sign in the yard saying available on the 1st, and add any rent credit in with the return of their deposit.
