i.e. you can't hire the contractor without it.It's a lot easier to get a W-9 upfront I find than months after the job is complete when you need to issue that contractor a 1099.Generally, you must issue a 1099 to all non-corporate independent contractors whom you pay $600 or more in cash or check during the tax year.

@Brian Gerlach Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac count loans on properties that you are personally obligated for.  

So properties have different underwriting models based on credit tenant type, stnl or mtnl, how many primary years left on the lease, lease staggering, termination clauses, co-tenancy clauses, restrictive use clauses, lease guarantees for personal and corporate, disclosure of ongoing sales, association by laws, etc. 

As a result, Your realtor has a legal obligation to always represent your best interest in the contract as she is the “real estate expert!”

Well, if you’re assigning the contract then Of Course they need to see the contract you are selling them, as that is what they will be obligated to.....it could be QCD, not call for clear title,  lease back to seller, etc.
