It is good to be proactive with things like this but if there is no urgency I would wait until you have some funds from the rent built up before replacing the roof.

The urgency of completing a task or service with a business has to override all the other problems for access.

We had a sense of urgency, they did not.

Hey BPers,Here is a little tip to help sell your houses faster (I did this on Monday and it reminded me to post this method):TIP: Make sure you are scheduling multiple people at one time to go see the house you are selling.This will create a SENSE OF URGENCY AND A FEAR OF LOSS and have your buyers fighting to give you a contract.I use this technique when I am wholesaling a property, when I am owner financing a property, and when I am retailing a property (when I can) .Now, the key here is make sure you have at least 2 qualified buyers...I like to make sure all the buyers are qualified; however, if I am trying to create some real fear of loss...I will just get the numbers there.Just to be clear, I do this as often as I can and have literally had people fighting to get their contract in first (which you want to have on hand); however, if you have a good qualified buyer and you can ONLY schedule that one buyer...then do it.

Time Kills Deals, we want you to have urgency to get it under contract.

You don't but some lists (pre-foreclosure, delinquent taxes, probate, city issues, etc.) are going to have higher probabilities of converting because there is more need/urgency to sell.

@Bruce Clark I would never place a standing offer because it completely removes any sense of urgency.

My work ethic as a carpenter is very goal driven I have a high level of urgency and quality even when there is no urgency I strive to go the extra mile show up early and be the last one to leave and stay organized as much as possible on Jobs sites.

Thanks for the urgency in your message.
