Steve Babiak - I'm actually feeling pretty sick today . . . that was my bad.

However, if you can't perform on the contract if your buyer flunks you're a broker; plain and simple.

When you have the money ready and there's no inventory to buy, it made sense for us.We got plain lucky that the market continued to climb and I was able to sell it for as much as I did.

Especially with the help of these forums where you can get a bunch of really great feedback, advice, and ideas for free.It's pretty plain to see that 98% of the people here have no hidden agenda.

It's staged crap, plain and simple.

In Oregon it is legal and I am not worried about the feds but I would not be able to even inspect my property because the strong smell of weed makes me violently sick.

I would really like to see if I could get some guidance from the BP community and figure out if we have any recourse.I will keep this as brief as possible.We put in an offer on a house in Michigan.Our realestate agent suggested we put the offer in with a thirty business day close period.We didn’t like the idea and preferred a 45 but, we agreed and our lender related that they would be able to close in that time frame.All of our task to get the loan completed and closed were done in a timely manner.The lender did not schedule the appraisal in a timely manner, then on the day of the appraisal the guy got sick so it was resceduled for a later date  .Once the appraisal was completed, the lender kicked it back for discretionary corrections.At this point we were very much on schedule to miss our close date.Now, we were told several times by our agent who heard it from the seller’s agent that they had a backup cash offer in place and that that offeror had already done an inspection.So we knew they would most likely back out if we busted the close date.However we did get the seller to agree to a week extension, so long as our lender could provide a clear to close based on the date of the extension date.The lender would not provide any firm date, seller was not happy with the banks position and backed out the at the earliest opprtunity.

@Rogers Smith, I use the plain white vinyl regular blinds from Lowes on most of my units.

Not being accredited there is more red tape to follow as a sponsor of a deal.I like the plain ole vanilla type of investors that have money sitting around in the bank or in the stock market and want to put it to work.

., man doesn't that make you sick!
