Commercial Real Estate



Commercial real estate law governs real property - immovable property like land, buildings and fixtures - that is operated for profit. Commercial real estate includes any income generating property such as offices, shopping malls, restaurants, industrial parks, retail stores, and factories. Commercial real estate transactions are regulated by both federal and state laws. Although commercial real estate investment can be very profitable, there is always an element of risk involved, such as non-payment of rent or depreciation of the value of the property.

How to get out of real estate contract?
I signed contract for house which found unusual(huge amount) of mold in attic. Ther was elevated mold in basement in home inspection. The seller agreed to basement mold remdiation - and agreed to fix part of the roof which had mold. But he is asking me to pay5000$ for smaller roof - (which had sagging sheathing - per home inspection) I have asthma - and I am thinking that all this will still not fix the mold issue(and it will be there in other places that i did not test). I also did not do chimney - and sewer test - which for all i know may have found other issues(in this outdated house) So can i back out of this deal without loosing deposit.(I also signed addendum which asked for replacing roof sheathing in main roof - and sagging sheathing in other) So can i get out of this contract without loosing deposit ? (but my agent says that he is supposedly fixing the issue - but i think not in the way i want)
Do i have the legal right to evict my moms boyfriend so that i can take possession of the house and
Since the beginning of this process i''ve been told that i have the legal right to take possession of the property i inherited by means of evicting my moms boyfriend. (My mom left me her house and Land in a will before she passed away) Its been a long process and now im finding out that the defendant has filed for an appearance on the writ of possession. I only had to give him 30 days but i gave him 37. Is there anything that could go wrong with me trying to remove him from the property. I dont understand why his Lawyer would file for an appearance if i have the legal right to take possession of the property.

The deed was signed 7 years ago.....the ex-girlfriends continues to pay the mortgage,but the house is up for sale. My son stopped making payments when he signed over the deed. Here is the question: How can he get his name off the mortgage, off credit reports, etc. He''d like to buy a condominium but can''t with his hanging over his head. If he signed the quit claim deed, shouldn''t his name be removed from everything concerning the property ?

I need representation in El Paso County, Colorado. Contract for Deed was signed in Feb 2011 and was never filed with the court nor was escrow account set up for taxes. I have a legal right to cancel this contract and receive all funds back. I have researched the law, I just need it filed ASAP. I cannot insure the home nor get utilities for the tenants I have in it now because the assessor does not show that I OWN the home. The CFD was notarized. Someone please help. I have contacted many lawyers and have received no response!!

My mom and I had a joint bank account. I paid all of her debt, as well as her funeral. My attorney said there was no need for probate. I still have a vehicle in her name that I never transferred title on. (Worth maybe 2 or 3k) If I let her house foreclose, Will they come after me since I didn''t go through probate?
