LOLI just call them distressed buyers,value-add buyers etc.It's my own internally lingo floating around in my brain..........................If you are a broker or agent giving credits back you can protect yourself.If they are selling say a 200k house and want a deal say you are rebating half the commission back.You could do it this way.

I have done just taht I have assets but not alot of liquidity and all teh people I know that was hard money lenders even to those of us who continued borrowing they have cut off and are trying to stay floating.

If he gets the drift that you are serious, and educated he will shape up.

The texture on the ceiling and some of the walls were a hard plaster, which was a pain to scrape and float, all without any heat (the hvac was being replaced.)

I dont figure in capX as I "float that across the portfolio, and we try to cover big ticket items up front if possible, when doing the rehab. my suggestion is to be careful buying as the market is rising, I have backed off, the deals are harder to find to meet my needs, because buyer competition has picked up. it will cycle, so be patient and only buy Great deals!!! 

Any chance of the stench drifting east-ward when the fog rolls in??

I know it's only a 4" X 4" piece of sheetrock, but it's cutting out the old piece, gluing in the braces, attaching the new piece, taping, floating, painting.

I have this in all my offers to banks on REO properties, not because I wholeslae or don't have the cash, but because I certainly do not want to have tens of thousands of dollars floating out there.

The intent of this post was to piss everyone off and stir the pot so please feel free to drift into whatever random tangents you like...enjoy!

Pretty much whatever can get this deal done, with the right terms.Brandon,I am open to the idea of the land contract and will float that to him.
