A lot of us investors do not close with an assignment of contract.David Church

This is the financial information of the deal:ARV = $179KRepairs = $0Selling Price = $135KSeller's Problem = The seller has an existing 30 Yr conventional mortgage originated in 2013 and he now just wants his name off the title as he wants to purchase another home closer to his church. 

@Bartow Church welcome to BP. 

I'm thinking perhaps a salvage company might buy the homes for something or perhaps a church might want the homes for a camp....Anyone ever had a similar experience and what did you do?  

Three weeks later they presented me with a check from a UU church for all the back rent and a month in advance.

What are you going to say that the other investors haven't said to the seller - I'm a nice person, I go to church, I need money for my kids education, I need to pay my bills.I believe you message needs to stand out (not with a yellow letter) I include in my direct mailings my credentials - licensed - bonded - BBB approved - references upon request - 32 degree Mason - years in business - How much do you want - how many bedrooms - the condition - how fast do you want to settle - these are simple questions that don't really mean much! 

I'm in Stafford (work in Falls Church) and am hoping to find my first buy/hold property in the near future.

I'm a residential landlord myself, but this question regards a puzzling situation in my church's relationship with its landlord.

I used to live in Falls Church 16 years ago.  

We both will be improving upon our positive and negative experiences of past buy and hold rental/lease deals to build a better future for our family, church, and our future.
