He ended up taking my underwriting/origination escrowed money and strung me along for six months, frustrating me, the realtor, the seller, and making my negotiation potential crumble.

I do but the current intrest rate i have it as is 3 percent. would a bridge loan or seller financing work to meet the down payment?

They taught me how to professionally engage the brokers and sellers and submit all-cash offers using THEIR cash. 

When you are looking at estimated provided by the seller take them with a healthy grain of salt.

What type of loans are you buying, performing, non performing, seller financed?

While traditional loans might be tough with current interest rates and no W2s, there are definitely creative financing options and strategies to consider.One possibility is exploring seller financing.

i actually have bought properties on seller finance at 95% LTV. 

A lender credit was disclosed on the Lock LE instead of being shown as the Seller credit.

My wife brokered a 6 mil house in Oregon even.. the seller was a Chinese bizzman who bought it for his 19 year old kid.. why he would need 10k plus sq ft I dont know..

The best way to sell it will be seller financing or to an all cash buyer.
