There are of course other important things to look out for, but I think the most important thing is to see if you're actually ready.There is a HUGE emotional aspect to investing that most people forget about when they think it is time to start investing.

You sound way too emotional and involved in they misery.

A Realtor can be very helpful and may be able to negotiate a deal a bit better because he or she may not be as emotionally vested in the situation as you might be.Deborah

This would help to limit your emotions because your money is on the line.

well i dug deeper and found out that a person with the same name (there are four others in the county with same first and last name) as the seller of this lot or god forbid, the seller, has a federal tax lien and abstract for judgement by a telephone company registered with county clerk - sooooo i'm paying $9.00 for copy of the judgements.

That lack of understanding can really take you down when one is dying to sell and the other is emotionally attached and wants to hold.

You sound a little like you are emotionally attached to the place and in business you had better not get that way.

So, its obvious that he has emotion wrapped up into this home.

So the longer it's been out there, generally the more willing the seller will work on price with you.BEST OF LUCK and I REALLY hope this transaction works out GREAT for you and is a happy experience.If it doesnt, walk, please, think with your head not your emotions...
