Paying Bills with profit from House Sale
You need to review the capital gains rules. No one cares what you do with the actual money you receive from the sale of your home even when the old capital gains rules were in effect.- PghREA

Offering cash to buyer at closing?
One of the questions asked at settlement is "Are there any deals outside of this closing." If you were giving cash to the buyer after closing and said "no" you would be lying. That's considered illegal IMO. Lender's are expecting the answer to be "no".- PghREA

Offering cash to buyer at closing?
Why don't you just lower the price by $5,000. Lenders do not like to see see deals made outside of closing. In my state offering cash to the buyer is a no-no. However, seller's assistance in closing costs is acceptable but there are guidelines that must be followed.- PghREA

can talk to buyer and then present deal it to my realtor.
Personally, I would fire her and hire a Realtor. When you list a property, it should be immediately placed in the MLS. How long does it take? It depends on how fast the agent can type. Again, IF YOUR PROPERTY IS LISTED WITH A REALTY COMPANY, all inquiries need to be through a realtor. NO...- PghREA

Verbal Agreement
You had no bathroom for a year? Why would you move into an apartment that did not have a functioning bathroom? Verbal agreements are hard to prove - it's a "he said" - "I said" and if the judge was not there to hear what was actually said, then he can't rule on it.- PghREA

Have the man who approached you directly meet with your Realtor or a Realtor of his choosing to prepare a sales agreement. This is what must be done when you have listed your home with a realty company.- PghREA

Loose Dog
When the dog comes on your property, catch him tie him up and call animal control or the police to return the dog to his owner. Doing this enough times will get the message to the pooch's owner. Shooting the mutt is generally illegal in residential neighborhoods.- PghREA

neighbors and boundaries
A survey will tell you where the lot line is. It is always a good idea to place a fence inside the boundry line of the area that is being fenced-in. If you want the owner to maintain the property that is on your side of the fence, tell him (after you remove the gravel).- PghREA

incorrect information on lease
Yes, the lease is valid. The landlord's home address is where you are to send your monthly rent check to. Why would you mail a check to your apartment address and expect to get credited for the rent payment?- PghREA

mother sold lot way below market value
Value is determined by what Buyers are willing to pay. If a buyer was willing to pay $1,000 for the lot and your mom was willing to sell her lot for $1,000, then there is not much you can do about it after the fact.- PghREA
