a lot of angry people tend to call back. is it a bad idea to put my address on the letters incase they start giving bad reviews? or will the increase in traffic to my website help rank it higher

i was thinking about setting up a pay per click campaign.  how much does it typically cost per click? are the clicks worth it?

@Walker Hinshaw

he wont be living it is. i am going to give him a down payment. it is giving him more money that i can offer... as i am typing this is came to me that, if they are going to pay for property taxes anyway, why not just subtract it as i normally would. 

either they pay for all the holding costs, or i just subtract is from my offer.

he also doesnt want me to pay the loan fees. so could he seller finance at 0% interest?

also. if nobody thinks that this is a good idea. he could seller finance at 0% interest right?  how would i make it so he pays all property taxes and stuff along with the loan though?

a guy wants to sell his house. i gave him my number and explained to him all the costs involved. i told him the 12% lending costs, the property taxes, condo fees, ins, repairs, and my 20k profit , and closing costs and everything else in the 6 month process.

he said. how about, we keep the property in my name, and i pay all the costs within the 6 month period while you pput 15k of work into the house . and then you assign the P&S contract to the new buyer so we dont have to pay two sets of closing costs.

would this work? too risky?

obviously the contract would have to be written up very nicely.
