New Member Intro (& Hard Money Question)

[Chris Grizzaffi]

My name is Chris Grizzaffi, and I am from Houston, TX. I've been in the real estate and construction industries for a collective 15 years. Most recently, I have been in the resale residential market in Houston for 7 years, and I have a small brokerage I operate with a handful of agents. I haven't focused much on investment property in the past, and I am seeking opportunity to drastically change paths into this arena now.

With that said, I was negotiating a deal with a seller recently, and then halfway through the negotiations he said a hard money deal wouldn't work out. He's gone dark on me without providing much of an explanation, and I cannot seem to figure out why. I am not sure why this would matter, and I also don't really know why it was brought up bc I wrote the deal as cash. Just curious if there might be some objection handlers I should put in my back pocket for the future.
