It sounds like the seller has a bad property they want to unload, so they may look for any way possible to keep your money.

Maybe they did not pass the inspections and it will be too costly to do it City's way, so they are unloading it.

Contractor delay, unable to unload adds up the expense.

Just be sure you are prepared to deal with that because trying to unload it while overseas would not be fun either.

I thought it might be educational to read some specific examples of why you've had to unload a poor performing property.

The extra perceived returns do not pan out and you are left with a big headache and some unload for a loss just to get out of the area.

I think I might need a little help here guys - we put out 25 bandit signs saturday morning and have had 7 calls so far. 1 was a mobile home that I'm not interested in. two others we looked at tonight and they may be profitable, have to pull comps to see for sure. one guy has 4 properties he's wanting to unload - sweet!
