I spent the next few months saving and researching where I wanted to move to and I landed on Austin, TX.

Some might see that as an inherent conflict of interest so it may be money well spent buying your own title policy.  

That agreement specifies that Listing Bokers and Cooperating Brokers split the commission 50% even.I spent the several thousand dollars to become a member and from that point on, there was nothing a Listing Broker could do but to split the Commission evenly with me.

I found a box of shared books, it said "Take one, Leave one." 

Give her 100% of the money she spent and then 40% of the deprecated value like you previously agreed.

Just yesterday I spent two hours driving up and down E 93-E115 off Superior looking for my first deal in the area.

I really liked the Idea of relocating the entrance door and spent couple of hours designing another layout, I think this one came out way better and I think those walls that needs to be removed are not load baring, below are the pics

I spent the next year trying to find out what they were doing to "sign some papers and make $40k.."

In fact, they spent close to $20k on improvements since signing the Lease Purchase agreement.

Why not..it's usually cheaper by far unless the burner box has burned out and has holes in it.
