I have done myself a tramendous work on RE search, CMA, Income/Expense reports without the help of RE buying agent. I also got the pre-approval certificate from the lender. Now, I am thinking of putting an offer that contains contigencies to the seller agent. At this point, I don't see why I should get an buying agent in the process. Instead, I want to the seller to compensate me that 3% commission at the closing.
To get the law on my side, should I get the RE lawyer to draft/ review an offer? and how much? can an offer be generic so that I can use it again on other house, if this one gets rejected?

Any thought would be appreciated.

I am a contractor, would it be any good to buy a cheap house in Pennsylvania, renovate it "increase it's value" and then sell it?

I am finding my own houses by looking on line which I am fine with....and driving by to see if I want to look first. THEN I am calling her to make appointments. Am I being too pushy to expect an appointment that day or the next?

My husband and I are considering his employers offer to move to another state. I'm not 100% sure that they will pay to corporately relocate us. Is it possible for us to just go to a Realtor and sell our home through their Relo department? Not sure how all this works. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!

I recently locked myself out of the house and paid a $49.99 service call. Only the door handle was locked and not the deadbolt. The locksmith took out a credit card and in half a second, opened the door. He charged $125 to do this. He also fixed our deadbolt because the key would not go in all the way, hence, why it wasn't locked. He spent more time on this and charged $18. How can $125 be justified to swipe a credit card and open the door in half a second. I have an overall ill feeling about this company. Anyone else agree, or am I not being realistic? I can understand paying more for having a deadbolt unlocked/door open, but not a credit card swipe!

Besides being an invasion of privacy, what if you would like to keep your assets or wealth private?
What if in the case of people with less than perfect credit are turned down? Do they have alternatives?

If i moved out of the unit on the 2nd of July and returned the keys that day around 8pm. The landlord recieved the keys upon there arrival in the morning the following day because they were closed. They are saying i must pay for the full day on the 3rd even though i returned key on the 2nd because the did not regain possesion of the unit until the 3rd. I think that is not right because i returned keys on the 2nd, i should not be held responsible because they were not there. I put the keys exactly where they lease says to put the rent. If i were to pay the rent on the 2nd and they recieved it on the 3rd as long as it was in the drop box upon there arrival i would not be charged a late fee. I think the same should go towards returnng keys.
Please advise

I have people living in my parents house on land contract and they haven't made a payment in over 18 months. My parents want to give me and my fiance the house and the people won't leave! I've given them 60 days to get out and they keep saying they can't find a place which is such a lie because we live in a college town with thousands of rental properties and the students are gone for the summer and they're all empty. I said they have to be out by the 15th and they still don't have a single box packed. I DON'T want to have to take them to court because I have a full time job and don't have the time for that crap. Is there anything that I can do to get them out? Am I legally allowed to change the locks and make them pack their sh!t and get out? Please, any legal advise would be much appreciated.

After their eviction, a friend wants to stay with me at the same property. The landlord is aware of our close association, so I'm wondering if, legally, would there be a problem with the evicted resident stayed with me until they found another place? Thanks

Here's the situation:
wife and i bought a house. A family member invested half the money with us. We live in the house, pay the mortgage.

Anyway, now the family member is trying to force us to sell the house because she needs the money back. We bought only 3 years ago and would lose money if sold right now at market value because of the realtor/selling fees.

Question: if we agree to sell, can we continually refuse offers that would sell at a loss, or can we be legally forced to sell despite an offer at a loss?
