I doubt you'll have someone steal this "deal" away from you on BP.  

At this point it was clear they were trying to steal the property from me and cut me out of the deal.

For these scenarios, unless I am getting a heck of a steal, I make this a task for the seller as a condition of the sale.Got someone on month to month and just want to ease the transition and minimize damage and eviction expense in the event they don't vacant peacefully....I would go in with $500 plus their full deposit back.Naturally, I assume your situation is somewhere in between those scenarios and logically, so would be my answer.

There is just to much identity theft happening today.

For my first house I did not look for a "steal", or even an excellent "deal".  

To you the property may be worth $76K but to the next investor or even first time homebuyer it could be a steal at $80K. 

When the Execution is sent to the Sheriff, you must include a copy of the deed that you are asking him to levy against and heaven forbid if the name on the deed and the name on your execution are not identical!

The buyers will be getting a steal. 

It seems to be a big deal for anyone over 55, like they have the best advice and if you listen to anyone else, even if that person gives identical advice, then you're dumb.

Then add in all the people trying to steal what money you do have with simanars or what not and could care less if you make it or not.
