1st meeting with motivated seller
I meet with my first motivated seller yesterday. I went and did a walk through of the house and I must say it was ****. We talked for a good thirty minutes before discussing price. We ended up agreeing on the price I wanted. Everything was good until he asked for the earnest money deposit. I could come up with the amount he requested. That is when I informed him of the process. He didn't like that I wasn't forthcoming with that information. So the deal fell thru. Even though things didn't go the way I planned I consider it a success.
