Scenario: $1,000,000 List priceBuyer #1:offers $960,000 submitted with a qualification letter for the same $960,000 with $5,000 scribbled in the deposit line of offerBuyer #2:offers $955,000 submitted with a qualification letter for $1,213,700 (odd number is for a reason) with a $40,000 Good Faith check or Escrow Letter Most sellers and listing realtors would go with Offer #2, where the buyer is negotiating from a Position of Strength, backed up with a substantial Deposit showing they are a serious and capable buyer.

@Khader Moh as far as investing outside of your immediate area, I agree that it is definitely more complex as far as finding capable Property Managers etc....

The brick is so popular, that it is being illegally stolen from vacant buildings and shipped throughout the country for accent pieces, etc.The problem with this nice material, is that it would be insanely expensive if you tried to replicate the building exactly. 

- Does the IRA provider have the capability to handle my IRA if it wants to extend a line of  credit?

And the search capabilities is also very different. 

If there are bars, are they capable of being opened from the interior?

Ive said this house needs a second bath right from the start and have gotten nowhere(even the realtor said it needed one), the biggest problem I see in this scenario  is that I really wanted and needed someone who has done many of these with the mindset of the investor/REIA  to walk me through, not my dear hubby who although very talented in what he is capable of doing isn't very good at organization, timeliness, of follow through, therefore he has now quit on me and Im stuck trying to learn AND figure this out and not lose my shirt in the process.I had my realtor walk through the job with me and try and help refocus me but I really even need the financial piece played out at this point .

This, coupled with an online portal and rental capability along with utilizing a call center allows me to manage the properties from home for the most part.

I do commercial but when an investor contacts me the first thing I do is send out a one page PFS statement to fill out.I want to know their capability before we even jump on a call.

So purchase, shipping, install ect combined
