Not that my couch/entertainment center/dresser/whatever was any better quality or cheaper than the competition, but the buyers usually commented about how good the items looked.

(anything over 3 days, you pay for full-time daycare).I do see places where we could cut down on food expenses and entertainment expenses.

Thanks for the warm welcome Brandon.Yes, I'm also an Illusionist (kinda like Criss Angel and Derren Brown) and I've been very passionate about it since I was 6 years old.A few years ago, I used to work in a restaurant where I used to entertain people by reading their minds and bending their spoons and forks with my mind lolIt was fun, but I was still trading time for money, which is something that I always deeply despised.

Main level is complete with kitchen, dining area, pantry and great room which is perfect for entertaining family and friends.

Here is an example for you:"This beautiful, quiet, recently remodeled, 3 Bed 1.75 bath rental home is in a great location - minutes to schools, restaurants, entertainment, shopping, bus, employment".

During your meeting, you will find out your hard money brokers parameters, how they work, if the use private money or institutional capital, rates, points they expect, lien positions they'll entertain, will they service the loans etc..One VERY basic transaction involves agreeing to lend no more than 65% LTV (of a $100,000 purchase price) to a borrower who agrees to 12% I/O and 4 points.

I agree with Chris...What do you know about the sellers and the motivator for them entertaining the sale?

Rest assured I entertain no thoughts that this will be easy.

The original price was $160k, you are offering round the $120k mark - what you did was educate the sellers agent that the seller would entertain offers around the $120k mark.

Maybe he would entertain a lease option for the first year, take that $500 and give it to him for the first year to account for $6000 down payment?
