If all hell breaks loose, I'm pretty confident I can get better than $18 for the dirt on Bank A, and not confident at all that I can get $42 for dirt at Bank B.So, credit is one part of the equation, but not ALL of the equation.I also really like convenience stores with corp backing, 7-11, QuickTrip (in my area), etc.

That said, the spread on this one is way bigger than the 1st and I'm far more confident I can get top dollar in this neighborhood than the 1st.  

I like to give numbers when I provide a picture of the properties and surrounding areas to substantiate our comps and target market but I don't know how confident I should be in the stats on trulia.

I am looking to begin investing in Northern NJ, I am confident I have the experience and knowledge once I own my first property.

In general, any decent agent will have a previously prepared marketing package available after you sign a confidentiality agreement.

Any info you disclose about inability to get financing may not be confidential, thereby leading the seller to cancel your contract.

But I studied the books and CDs and leaned enough to feel confident I can sift through all the deals out there (and there are a lot)to find a good one, but lack the requisite cash buyer list to make them turn into cash for my savings account. 

They responded with a "confidentiality agreement" for me to sign.

@J Scott Jay, not all the eggs in the same basketOne member  (confidentially)  told me that they bought a home for 600 k and now is 1.2 millionMany good things coming up from this thread!

If it was all so rosy he could just simply let them all to section 8 tenants.I've called several agencies in detroi, they off course are so eager to do business with me but I could never feel they were confident I could rent those properties easily and no one was very eager to deal with section 8 tenants , they were advising me to try to find first regular tenants, which is a little worried as I know that there are very high rental vacancy rates in Detroit and surrounding areas and also that Detroit has the highest unemployment rate in the Country at 25%.
