Did you talk to the Title company? Depending on the day, it may take 24 hours plus to get escrow going.  The owner could have talked to the Escrow Company and Escrow could have possibly bought you a little more time. It seems very much like the end buyer 1 and 2 may try and go behind your back with the seller, especially if they know that the contract was terminated. If it were me, in the future I would just post the deal asap and let the interested parties roll in. If you no longer have a contract with the seller, the only way to do anything is to get a new contract with the seller possibly offering a little more.  

Hi Devin, I sent you a request. Can you please share the contractor in that area with me as well as well?

Great story and congratulations on your success!

Antoine Martel, thank you for your reply.  I feel the same and agree with you.  No one should post pictures if they are misleading.  I advise everyone to do due diligence before purchasing a property especially if it is to far to go and see. I guess I am just surprised and also disappointed that I saw it on this magnificent forum set up for investors.   

Hi BP community, I was looking through the marketplace at properties for sale and came across an ideal house for sale, I thought.  It looked really pretty and updated and that was the outside, but when I did my due diligence I saw that the house looked abandoned and nothing like the picture.  Is it appropriate to post a picture of a property for sale that is not what it truly is?  Your thoughts please.  Thank you.

Sounds good @Joe B.- I wish you continued success.

@Sharon Vornholt-Thank you Sharon.  I will read your blog and posts for more information.

Does anyone know if there is anymore info on BP about direct mailing for probates.  I would like to take a shot at it.  Any information would be appreciated.

Hi Anthony, I live near Inglewood in L.A. and I met Ernie a couple of weeks ago at the REILA meeting in Culver City.  He was one of the main speakers.  He has people at the courthouse (probably the guys sitting next to me) gathering probate data. I don't know his program but I believe having a mentor is a good idea.  I also believe he is actively making deals.  I just returned to Real Estate Investing and have not made any deals in over 12 years which back then were rentals. I am studying Jim Banks rebate program which is so far very good.  I suggest you start tryiing to attend the REILA meetings and you can google them to see when they're held.  You also may go to Ernie's website or google to see the next time he will speak at a seminar or meeting. You usually can go for free.  I wish you the best of luck and feel free to send me a collegue request. 

Hi Jon, as Paul Kestenbaum mentioned I like Jim Banks.  It is a great program.  Jim leads you through the entire probate process.  Good luck!
