I dunno...I dunno...sometimes solutions cause more problems...Obligo really acts as a transaction coordinator/guarantor.

I live in Lake Bluff, IL about 15 miles south of the IL/WI border so don’t have a lot of contacts on the Wi side.

Hi all, has anyone hired and used a Broker of Record, whether it be a broker or attorney, to oversee agents/transactions for their real estate brokerage? 

You will need to claim that property as your "primary residence" for tax reasons because the bank will cross reference for that with an automated system. 

Coordinating the 2 transactions here is very important.

So I spent the weeks leading up to the sale driving around my county after work and crossing houses off the extensive list, or making notes next to the address like "bid high" or "bid low".

I have a local team in DFW area and we are learning from our mistakes in these transactions.

This has crossed my mind.

@Lynette Gryniak - any lender, FHA or not, will require you to explain any large deposits or abnormal transactions. 

It was a multi-property transaction and was across state lines, and it went extremely smoothly.
