@Chris PrefontaineDoes paying the listing agent a leasing fee release them from their claim to a sales commission if the house sells within some time period (say 1 year)?

What do you do to get a copy of the lease to your new (or extended) Tenant's?

“It’s a press release sharing with the world something they should already be doing,” said Zylstra, pointing to education reimbursement programs and in-house training available at tech companies such as Intel Corp.

If the seller doesn't want to give you a discount, agree to his price and extend the amortization period and/or the reduce the interest rate to lower the monthly mortgage payments.

So this was the last day of a fitness/slim-down challenge my extended family and I have been on since January getting ready for a wedding.This was a SMART (Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant) goal and had a positive result because of it.  

Is it by percentage of completion of the project like traditional GC contracts are or is it once 100% completion of the rehab is completed, the money is then released to the GC? 

That would mean banks would not extend a loan to you because your financial statements indicate that you do not have the resources to repay a loan.

another one in Lake Oswego.. was just off the charts .. over 250 thousand pounds went to the dump.. on a 100X 120 lot.. its was so bad once I demo'd it county waved fee 100% just released it.. now in some markets not that easy.. but that's our experience in the Oregon area.. and extreme hoarder houses. 

These loans aren't about "better deal" v "worse deal," they are about "deal" v "NO deal, oh and you will find out at the 11th hour when all contingencies have been released." 

I extended an LOI to a seller (via my agent and his agent) of a 6-unit MFR, and my LOI was rejected because I did not offer to pay the asking price (I offered about 6% under asking).The asking price is too high given "conventional" deal terms and my underwriting criteria (which aren't crazy) - what sort of creative terms could I consider offering as I underwrite again at the full asking price and draft a new LOI?
