Then that next deal will come even easier.But here's the thing my green grasshopper..You will most likely not get anywhere if you ask other people "how do you get sellers", because honestly, unless someone says "get a website" you are fighting a losing battle. 

sub too wrap lease option etc.. is a fine method but in my mind only to be used by very financially capable folks.. not folks that are trying to get rich on OPM and no credit.. and in some states the persona with the lease option can hole up and judge may make the lessee do a foreclosure giving the lessor a right to cure..   

They have less of a leg to fight you than you have to fight them since it is known that they never went on the roof. 

First of all, a buyer's agent representing you is almost always paid by the seller's side (aka free service to you), so wouldn't be a great bonus to have someone who's on your side fighting the good fight for you.

You need to have a clear conversation on what your needs are and explicitly ask if they are capable of doing what it takes to make that happen.

ACH, where we charge $1)It's an ongoing fight with my operations manager. 

He is more than capable of paying the rent but is intentionally withholding.

As I sit here planning my goals for the week I am struck with an overwhelming sense of fear, my initial thought is "Am I even capable of pulling this off?".

Is there a way to reverse this, and make the purchase price known for the sake of fighting taxes, or the opposite, increasing comps in the area, etc?

Gotta love my fellow lawyers fighting the AP good fight.
