I'd be left with compelling tenant to sign the lease after two weeks or perhaps collecting a fee essentially equal to the monthly rent prorated for the amount of days the property is held, up to some reasonable limit (one month?).

But when you close with an attorney and title company and buy owner's title and closing seems like a breeze and you think you're covered, and then 6 months later, the title company still hasn't recorded the deed and the title insurance underwriter says it's been recorded but the state and county says it is not, you start to learn that you, too, need to know how this works so you can fix it as no one else seems to care that much, even though the state insurance regulators are helping all they can, claims are filed and being dealt with, but they are tied up by time frames (title company has another 15 days to answer yet another letter, etc.).

Much of what happens in our legal system is not only based on the written word of law but also the intent and applicability of law to some activity.From what I read in forums, many give advice based solely on how they may read a regulation or leagl requirement without looking at the overall inetnt.

Regulations are so fun!

-There were recent accusations of fraud from the bank to the LO and the LO is no longer working there.Im probably missing a few things from this story but its merely hypothetical so try not to read too much into it.....Do regulations of other agencies supersede commercial regulations when a principal residence is involved?

For instance compliment the property or neighborhood and simply start asking compelling questions.People LOVE to be complimented and they will open up easier to you.

The answer is “Yes”...so long as income tax benefits are not altered or enhanced in the process.4 As we’ve discussed in other chapters, federal lending regulations fully authorize the creation of inter vivos trusts of all types, requiring only that the borrower creating such a trust remain “A” beneficiary (a very important indefinite article, that “a”).

Doesn't your state regulate real estate agents?

This is different from CA and other states where permitted use is medical in nature, and the substance is viewed as 'medicine:' (d) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL PROHIBIT A PERSON, EMPLOYER, SCHOOL, HOSPITAL, DETENTION FACILITY, CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER ENTITY WHO OCCUPIES, OWNS OR CONTROLS A PROPERTY FROM PROHIBITING OR OTHERWISE REGULATING THE POSSESSION, CONSUMPTION, USE, DISPLAY, TRANSFER, DISTRIBUTION, SALE, TRANSPORTATION, OR GROWING OF MARIJUANA ON OR IN THAT PROPERTY.

But hey, you HAVE a background and a track record...present it in a compelling way so your partners see you as an experienced expert not someone doing their first deal.As to your sourcing question, I think that everyone has a different opinion on this.
