Our lease form must be used and we have the right to approve tenants, not to be unreasonably withheld.b.

Say it takes you 100 sellers to get one deal (not at all unreasonable in the beginning).

The outlook for 2009 will not be up for discussion until Obama gets into office and we have the "first 100 days" pass.There is a lot of money / deal-makers waiting for that hurdle to pass.I'm hearing 'We have cash but are not looking to buy until 3rd or 4th qtr of 2009.'

I figure that once I get this hurdle taken care of, I'll be pretty much good to go on all the rest of it.

Plus they require 6 months PITI in addition to the 25%, another hurdle.

Options, therefore, take more convincing and present more hurdles to overcome.

This is my biggest hurdle in trying to narrow down the markets to invest in outside of SF, where I live.

They tend to jave unreasonable price expectations, will not negotiate a home inspection in good faith, the property usually wont appraise because there is no listing agent involved, they wont drop the price when it doesnt appraise, they wont make lender required repairs and so on and so on.So why spend 20 hours on a transaction that is very unlikely to close?
