Thanks @Tyler Willis! Their response was similar to yours, but the seller was not a wholesaler and was selling through a broker. It was an interesting conversation, considering they were marketing as a "cash" or "conventional loan" deal. I can understand if they only wanted cash investors, but conventional would certainly need an appraisal and would likely take more time! Anyways, that for the response. On to the next one!

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.
