@Cassandra Staffieri  Your concept will not work in New Orleans. 

Step up in basis is a concept that is triggered at someone's death.

My construction management and cost estimation background has brought a lot of value to my craft and understanding of the real estate process (although there are 1000s of other concept that I am learning everyday).Today is my first day with the Bigger Pockets family and I have heard great things about this social network and I am willing to connect with the like minded people via this platform.

I'm assuming its the same concept in RE, only difference you can lose alot of capital not knowing.

Regardless offering  A B  C terms is pretty easy.. and I guess if no one has heard of the concept this is good intoWe have had this one in our quiver since the mid 70s  LOL.. although sometimes you give them analysis paralysis and then they have to talk to their CPA and their attorney and they don't understand etc etc  ( seller) so probably want to figure out the business acumen of the seller  Lest you confuse them

That said, I would like to explore a path to using Big Data (and even visual data tools like Tableau/QlikView) to disrupt this market....Does anyone have any proofs of concepts or any Lessons Learned to share?
