Or do you people go out to eat and stiff the waiter or tip a waiter that has a different table .

I have contracted my own home in the past, and have a contract on the table for a possible deal at this time.

If they anwser with a gasp or a look of shock and awe, then I explain that I do real estate to put food on the table and that with all the risks involved that is the most I can give.

Only problem was there was only a small area to put the dining room table.

What kind of money am I leaving on the table by not investing?

It really sucks when you have an easy 15K or 20K sitting on the table, and the deal slips through your fingers.Actually I learned some strong lessons about this when I did my first apartment rehab.

Bills are paid, food on table, plenty leftover each month.

Well the subject to appraisal condition is trigger allowing you to A. back out of the deal or B. or back to the negotiation table and show proof to the seller that the property is not worth $500k but rather $25k less and him either has to lower the price to the appraisal price or the deal is off because one or all your conditions on the contract were trigger.They basically allow you to back or renegotiate the pending deal.

So for those who are thinking about waiting, I can tell you from experience don't do it, you're only leaving your own fortune on the table by waiting.I'm active now and have a lot of potential deals working through information from the network of investors that has grown up around me.

The whole concept of networking is key and coming across as a confident and able investor is part of the package we bring to the table.
