. $200K is a down payment and some reserve money for a duplex here in Denver so buying all cash here is out of the question.

I submitted an offer friday and received confirmation of receipt.  

The prospect signs an authorization allowing us to contact the employer to confirm their rate of pay and the duration of their employment.

Just to confirm, the HELOC would be against your primary and used to improve the same property--right? 

The guests paying for the reservation are likely a couple who want a king bed. 

Things about condos to consider: HOA fee always goes up and has special assessments so you need reserve funds.

Budgeting with reserves: Roof, HVAC, and everything else that will wear out over time.Home warranty buyers = people bad at math. 

This is an opportunity to confirm they have the expertise you need.

Confirm when she bought it and if any liens/mortgage recorded.

The reserve price wasn't met, but it's set very overpriced, and I don't think anyone would meet that price.The day after I won the auction, I received an email stating that the seller is offering all eligible bidders the chance to place another bid.
