She has a license and I will be her assistant.I anticipate, as her assistant, to be able to inform customers of property details, record contact info, gather info about prospective listings, follow up with customers regarding bid placement acceptance or decline, place signs in yards.She will show houses, sign contracts.Also, would we be allowed to open our own office away from the agency that she works for?

Yard signs, Craigslist along with many other local advertising sites.

President Bush signed into law H.R. 3648, The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007, and dramatically changed the lives of homeowners across the country who are facing foreclosure, considering a short sale, negotiating a loan workout, or have done any of these since January 1, 2007.

I feel this is a sign that they have been cooped up and not walked nor cared for.I refused to rent to two tenants who worked within 2 miles of the house and left their dog caged up to 7 hours without a visit.

Here are some of the things that I do for them:Prepare and update budgets and timelinesPrepare or review vendor contractsMake sure W-9s, insurance certificates and lien waivers are receivedAssist with preparation of due diligence itemsOrder surveys, appraisals, inspections etc. and make sure they are received on-time (or sooner)Review and prepare closing documents for signing (after received from the attorney)Coordinate closing with broker, real estate agent, title company, lender, etc.Full charge bookkeeping including A/R, A/P, FinancialsPrepare and submit draw requests to Lender's for payment of contractorsThere are a lot more things I can do for local clients, such as meet contractors to receive bids, check-in on remodel sites, etc.Usually the REI's locate the properties and do comps themselves.

I see bandit signs all the time "48 hours Cash for your home"...etc.

I told her that she would need to have her friend fill out an application so I could do a background check on her and have her sign a month-to-month lease.

Joe would have to discuss with the lender about signing his personal guarantee and have the lender release Mike, but after there is history with the lender, then based on that, there probably would not be an issue.

If its something that we did not take care of in the rehab or has broken since the rehab, or was not done right we take care of it.I look at it on a case to case basis really, the tenant signs a contract stating that they are in charge of all maintenance, but then again their intention is to purchase the property anyway as soon as possible so most of them like the fact they can take care of their own home or soon to be home.

When the owners are still living in their home that late in the process, that is a clear sign to me that they are not going to attempt a sale or a short sale so they can "save" their credit or prevent a foreclosure from going on their record.
