However, if you ever want to replace that home, you'll have to move it off his lot.I would consider appraising the vacant land and trying to cut a deal that's fair.

I was never quite clear on the logic here.

Site Improvement and Infrastructure Development - What does it typically cost to prepare land for residential use, from clearing to grading?

The closest I've come to your situation is similar to one in which a tenant wanted to cut the grass, for which he wanted to get a reduction in his rent.

Just ensure this is clearly outlined in your assignment agreement.But in my experience, typically the wholesaler submits the EMD with the PSA to the title company for escrow.

I have already generated pre-forclosure lists, failed listings, free and clear, distressed property, and motivated seller lists.

The biggest mistake new investors make is to walk a property, maybe explain in general terms what they want and then let the contractor come up with the SoW.For a bedroom this could be:- replace carpet- repair closet dooror- remove carpet- remove curtains, nails and screws- replace closet doors, entry door SKU#- replace window SKU#- refinish hardwood floors 144 sqft, clear/oil-based- prep and paint all woodwork- patch walls, texture, paint walls eggshell white clay, ceiling flat white- replace light fixture SKU#, replace lightswitch w decora/white, replace 3 outlets&covers- install blinds SKU#Obviously, the cost would be quite different.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

My question is, should I make a cash purchase so I can own it free and clear?

2) "asking me not to post anything negative (which I’m clearly not doing)" - How is this entire post NOT making them look bad?
