Don Konipol Wholesaling Legally and Ethically
22 January 2024 | 4 replies
While disclosing this upfront to the seller eliminates possible fraud, it solidifies the authorities position that the wholesaler is brokering without a license.While some wholesalers are becoming licensed, it’s my opinion that this could lead to some serious legal ramifications as licensed brokers are not supposed to use their superior knowledge to take advantage of a less knowledgeable seller, i.e. they are supposed to fully disclose relevant information to the seller.

Mike Nelson Asbestos, but limited to joint compound
6 September 2018 | 1 reply
I cant imagine a situation where you would be in trouble over asbestos in the joint compound only(because it is sealed), except when you go to sell (disclose to buyer) or take on a big remodel (tearing out walls).I think it is reasonable to include the cost of remediation by a professional company (shockingly expensive to do by the book) in your negotiations on price, as the next buyer will likely do it to you.

Charles Clark Great article!!! Can a landlord charge application fee in Wisconsin?
24 January 2024 | 3 replies
That is why most owners/companies don't seem to bother with application fees in the Madison, WI market as it's not worth the hassle of collecting it and refunding it (it's been very competitive with often multiple applications, so would be mailing checks back much of the time.I think this section covers it and appears like LL could retain it if tenant approved and then decides not to sign the lease, but LL has a list of caveats to disclose up front about lease terms, etc.
