My wife and I currently have a paid off house and I have been itching to invest in real estate but my wife has been hesitant.

Sometimes their previous landlord wasn't the greatest, and they're a little hesitant to send money to someone they've never met before LOL.

Ultimately, the decision is in their court, but you shouldn't hesitate to be completely blunt about a deal not being worth pursuing if you believe that to be true.Ultimately, it may hurt you short term (fewer deals get done), but long-term, those investors will trust you and the good will will come back to you in spades...

Don't hesitate to reach and post your questions, that's what the community is all about!!

@Joe Splitrock I'm always hesitant of if I'm being sold.  

If you have any specific questions don't hesitate to reach out.

The bank (seller) wants to add to the contract that the closing date would be 45 after the execution of the contract and for every day following the 45 days I will be penalized by $50 if the closing is delayed. my lender believe that the closing can be done within this time frame but I am hesitant to be in this position.

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

If you think I can be of any help to you please do not hesitate to contact me.
