Funny I was just invited to send in a $5k binder 10 minutes ago........ 

Give him a ring, name is Ryan.+1 (727) 729-2647 

So if he sells, after fees and such, he'll have $270k or so.  20% down on three $300k house = (.20 x 300,00 x 3) = $180K. 

Ring Cameras – Great for monitoring the exterior of your property for security purposes. 

If you have pipes coming out of the walls or floors or ceilings, they need to have the ring plate on it. 

I don't think people use binders in commercial real estate, but maybe that can be used before going to contract?

Haha I love that, I was born into the computer world but the way you describe finding real estate deals back then reminds me of a scene out of lord of the rings.

Changing lenders wont help - this will be the case for almost every lender.Call your insurance company and confirm that a binder is in place for your insurance for this deal.

We negotiated a price that worked for both parties, closed within three weeks, and took the property down ourselves.This deal was so clean, we didn’t even need to hire professional cleaners.

That points to how razor thin the margins are when dealing with these properties and how the smallest of issues can turn these properties upside down for the investor buyer but very few know this as they are posting ringing endorsements.
