Pure bunk.If you could do the following:* create a website for TBers to leave their info* get door hangers and flyers and bandit signs up for TBer to be driven to Web Page* get TBers money together, whether it is a loan from Household Finance, or loan from their parents, what ever* convince the Seller that the sales price is a new appraisal, period, at the time the TBer gets financing approved and funding letter is typed up* learn about credit reports and clearing negative marks (Fair Credit Reporting Act, FTC, etc)* have a goal where 10% down payment is arrived to get good rates* have the seller pay closing costs* you as an agent get 3% now, 3% when it closesThe challenge is helping both the seller and TBer get a win win, not easy.i.e.
