Sorry, this is from a Florida real estate lawyer's website. But he was referencing the standard Florida real estate contracts, which we did not use. They specifically state that there will be an extension if the closing date falls on a weekend or holiday...

Thank you for your insight.

I asked 5 questions in 20 years and bought and sold about 30 properties in that time, I don't consider that struggling but thank you for your advice and I will give it the attention it deserves

Actually that was supposed to be a question, I missed putting the question mark on it.

What is the name of your state?Florida At this point this question is for future references. By statute, is a seller required to extend a real estate purchase contract closing date if the expiration date falls on a weekend or national holiday?? This was not a standard far-bar contract. It was...

Are they considered 'unpaid' if the city foreclosed on those liens and the property was sold to a third party at the auction but the auction didn't bring enough to cover the total liens? I know with a bank foreclosures, the bank puts in their bid, if no one out bids them, they get the property...

The city of Fort Pierce, Fl, recently started foreclosing on code violation liens. I would like to know, once the property has been sold at the public auction, does that extinguish all the liens against the property held by the city or just the ones listed in the foreclosure? I don't know why...

Thanks for the reply, yeah, unfortunately he is one of those dodos. The late fees are very clearly spelled out. He said he was late on many of the payments that he did make but I have not seen the break down of the late fees. If they are charging a late fee for every month each payment was...

Florida I was able to find that, according to Florida statute, there is a maximum late fee of 5% of the payment due that a lender can charge on a "high-cost home loan". I can not find if there is a maximum for a mortgage on a commercial property. The lender is charging $150 on a $750 payment...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL I have a tenant that has promised to move out by a certain date, I agreed not to charge them the last months rent if they are out by then. They are month to month, still owe $250 from the previous month. I am considering asking them to sign a...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL Basically, what happens if I buy a property with a quitclaim deed on a property that still has a mortgage, I understand that the lender will be notified of the change of ownership and accelerate the loan and it will be due and payable in full...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida but asking about Puerto Rico Is there a website that list licensed attorneys in Puerto Rico? In florida, I can go to floridabar.org/ and search to see if someone is licensed to practice law in florida. When I go to the Puerto Rico site, I...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Fl I was selling my house to the tenants, they were supposed to keep it up, they didn't, I wasn't notified of city violations until it had already gone to their kangaroo court & were fining me $200/day for 6 months. Tenants quit paying & left. I...

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? FL My father gave me his '90 van in '98. :D If I give it back to him and he donates it to a non-profit charity can he take a tax write off. When he gave it to me, we transfered title and I've paid for all the taxes and tags since then.

You don't say if it is a "3 day PAY or quit" notice. Again, I'm not a lawyer and I'm in Florida so things are a little different. But we need to know if it was a 'pay or quit', did she pay her rent, did the LL accept her portion and/or section 8's portion of the rent, what date did she pay, what...
