What can a real estate agent and broker require you to sign in a real estate deal? I am in escrow on some property in which the seller and his real estate agent were not very forthcoming in their disclosure statements. Through a third party I found out some things about the property that are detriments (such as occassional flooding) but I am willing to overlook them and still purchase the property. I have released all my contingencies and we have a close date set. My real estate agent happened to tell the seller's real estate agent that we found out some of these things on the property - most importantly about the flooding - and now the selling real estate agent wants me to sign a bunch of documents listing out what I found out as if she had told me about them. I don't want to do it - it took considerable effort for me to uncover these issues and I have already signed off on contingencies. I don't think I need to also let her off the hook as if she had disclosed these things to me - she did not. Can the realtor force me to sign these? I am asking if a real estate agent can legally force me to sign informal and misleading documents in order to progress with the purchase? The seller and I have already signed all legal documents as outlined in our legal contract.

Finding a mentor has proven difficult because not many people are willing to share what they know. So does anyone know of any good books or classes that I should take (be specific) so that I can get started. Please answer my question with any references you may have. Thanks!!

If so, should I look at small 2 BR homes, duplexes, or homes? Or should I just look for property that has been sitting on the market for a long time that may need some TLC, etc and then flip them? I have never done that and don't really have alot of time to spend remodeling so I would have to hire out. And, the area I live in is a rural , somewhat depressed area.

Real Estate...? We just bought a home in August. We are completely unhappy with everything. The neighbors, up all night making noise, we called the cops a few times, plus we have a child on the way i don't want to be worrying about the noise with an infant. The POA, they are supposed to keep up the "common area" such as playgrounds, walking trails, ect. and keep up the exterior of the home and front yard. Well the sod they put down died within a week, they havent ever cut the grass anywhere and there is trash EVERYWHERE. And things keep breaking in our house and it's new construction. We really want to move but didn't know if it was possible to sell our house so soon since we just moved in. We've already found another house which is a lot closer to our parents. I was just wondering if there were any real estate agent or lawyers that could give us some advice or anyone that might(heaven forbid) been through what we have.
