Sometimes what comes along with the option contract are investors with a lack of sophistication or professionalism and that, more times than not, will cause the lender to question their character or capacity.

When dealing in commercial properties, you are not dealing with mom and pop, you're dealing with sophisticated business people and if they aren't they hire people who are.

If the commercial is listed most that I have had dealings with want their agent/broker to earn is commission, meaning I'm talking to them before I get to the seller.Residntial can be the same wy, but usually your seller is less sophisticated in such matters and can easily be intemidated when you start talking about disclosures and contracts, I'm saying some, and a Realtor then becomes an asset.I don't suggest anyone new in the game as a buyer deal with a listing agent, they should have a buyers' agent at first.

Either low-end borrowers have their “heads in the sand,†Saitta said, because they are less sophisticated, or they are staying in the home as long as possible without paying rent until they get evicted.

I have come across many sophisticated tenants (and potential tenants) that knew the laws very well.

Structuring a transaction in a manner where you the sophisticated investor are setting the buyer up for failure is unethical.

The market is much too sophisticated to allow that.

The general distinction is the level of sophistication and what they charge.

We have all been too well educated on the 50% rule, the 2% rule, the opportunities in the Mid-West and Texas, etc. so we will be looking for bargains.If you find a less sophisticated investor who underestimates the expense of having a property, you could get a pretty good price for it.

Is your target tenant likely to have only a month to month mind or will they be a little more financially sophisticated?
