But equally important it leaves money on the table to the contractor has reason to continue to show up...

Or are sellers allowed to find buyers besides what the agent brings to the table.

And in order to post said advertisements (blind person could see it was simply a request for help and mentorship without being a bum or bringing nothing to the table) i was told i need to pay to play.

I did find one lender (Stratton Equities) They have a prepayment penalty within the first 7 years, interest rates is like 8% and I have to bring 20% to the table.

Unless the trustee wants to show up to the closing table with cash for the difference.If the estate has to go through probate, that will delay the ability to list the property.If the trustee isn't making payments, the property will never make it through a lengthy shortsale.If this was a reverse mortgage, the trustee will only have a year to figure something out or else the bank will just take the home.

hey @Shaun Morgan , I don't have too much experience in this field so DEFINITELY take my opinion with a pound of salt, but from my education in entrepreneurship and from what research on the topic I have done, when it comes to private investors it is less about what info you bring to the table on the first visit and more so how you approach the situation.

They are currently fighting tooth and nail with the lender to use the last appraisal (the appraiser is an accepted on for the lender) in an effort to keep the deal alive.Just tossing out my opinion from the other side of the table with a low appraisal.

@Braden Smith @Taylor Murphy @Jason Watson @Sam BrooksI have a few deals on the table.

I bring lot to the table and don't just talk, I walk.
