zestimates are usually wrong, but also this market is so competitive that people are paying more and the zestimates can't keep up. I had a listing where we did a coming soon just to take advantage of the upswing (because it was at a super competitive price range and size), and then I just kept running comps to see when the market was where I wanted it. It's awesome if you're selling!    Play the game! I play to win!

WOW! The easiest way to lose you license is mishandling trust money aka other people's money. I would call her broker and I bet the broker would step in so incredibly fast to right the situation it wouldn't even be funny. If I were her broker she would be fired on the spot. There's literally multiple valid reasons to do so. If I were the broker I'd even report the agent to the department of real estate along with what I did to remedy the situation. I would also consider terminating the listing with the seller because of their blatant misconduct as well. Once again, mishandling trust money (security deposits). Now, since you want to buy the property I would complete the sale, but if you backed out as the buyer I would immediately terminate the firm's listing agreement with the seller. Even then though I would be terrified of closing the deal as an agent, because who knows what else they could be possibly hiding. I tell my clients the quickest way to lose me as their agent is to lie. They don't pay my errors and omissions insurance. 

Also these addendums and amendments that you speak of... Did an attorney write them or did the agent, because once again practicing law without a license is a no-go      

General Contractors are great! If you find one that can handle a load bearing wall they should definitely be able to handle cosmetic stuff like a countertop

based on my framing experience I don't like how it's a partition that goes all the way passed that ledge above it. Makes me think it's important. That being said I'd have a GC pull back some drywall and take a look and start seeing if you can install a beam in that ledge to hold up the part of the wall over that ledge and go from there. Best of luck! Let us know what you end up doing.

I agree

Use your record to prove damages and go from there. After all they saved you a lot of money by renting for 7 years. I'm not saying let them get away with stuff, but make sure it's legit and don't just keep the deposit without good reason. Deposits should be held in an escrow account or as a bonded check, because it's not yours until after they move out. I feel a lot of investors just spend it and then find ways to charge it later. Remember it's a business and they can write a review online and that can hurt your business as well.

Hey Kyle,

I'm a investor focused real estate agent I'd love to help provide value

I'm a full time real estate agent in AZ. I've lived in AZ most of my life but got my start in real estate as an investor while stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina as a paratrooper with the Army's 82nd Airborne, and deployed to Afghanistan. My main focus is helping investors with the disposition of properties as well as investing myself. If you're an active investor in the area I'd love to connect.

I'd love to hear more about that land lease going on. That sounds like a great project.

Way to go! I like those numbers!
