The title of your thread says "down payment," (implying you're making a financed offer) but your post implies "cash offer."

And if agents are advised to submit only one offer by these short sale trainers/gurus, what difference does it make if an investor is involved in the deal and they're getting buyers who's willing to pay the higher price?

Hi, the reason this was probably passed up for answers seems to imply the answer is no.

nope, not a joke.everyone here has taken the stance that i haven't paid rent because i'm holding back or trying to rip someone off. i actually agree that the situation is long overdue and i'm totally down to pay rent. i have a bank account that i've dedicated and make monthly deposits to so that i have everything covered. i do feel it's not good business the relationship i have with landlord and BOTH of us have obviously let this go on too long. i was naive to post this in a landlord's forum :-) but i wanted to be considerate and understand things from his perspective also. believe me i understand now. thing is, you all have painted me out to be the scum of the earth and in so many words implied that i'm both an idiot, dishonest and a vindictive for not squaring things away. i'm sorry that you are upset that there are no late fees in place and that our rent agreement is a verbal one. my landlord hasn't been kicking and screaming for me to pay up--we both are kind of embarrassed for putting this off for so long. so you can skewer me and make me out to be the devil all you want; go ahead and get your rocks off if it turns you on. but as a tenant, at least i'm upfront with everything; i have all the money to pay and no intentions of taking advantage of anything. the situation i'm in with my landlord is pretty extreme and not ordinary. we have fallen WAY behind on the accounting but are now finally taking the steps to resolve the situation. talks about eviction are silly since it's never even been brought up between us. paying $100K in late fees is ludicrous since this isn't part of our agreement. you're wasting your time with "real world" examples of what you would do if some darn guy didn't pay you for so long... for all the people making crude comments about me, calling me a liar and a joke--it's unnecessary and ill informed. i'm not a demon tenant refusing to pay rent. i've never held my landlord hostage by holding back payment. what none of you can understand is the simple reality of the situation--both landlord and tenant fell far behind on finances; tenant has all funds and intention to pay which is a lot more than can be said for any of you with tenants that have purposefully screwed you overit's obvious how you all feel regarding asking for some $$ off rent for the last couple months--I get it and I've taken note. hey guys, this is an internet forum, it's easy for you to say smart *** remarks about me without much repercussions. so if it makes you feel better to bash on me and take out all your tenant frustrations on me then by all means go ahead. i don't owe you anything, and if i did i'd pay you in full

And I didn't mean to imply that all had to serve in a military service, time spent in directly serving the public interest is fine too.

I really hope that's not what you were implying.

I'd suggest you not limit yourself to seeling only to investors as implied by the wholesale strategy, but widen the scope of possibilities in every deal, you can use similar strategies with most any buyer.

I can see that the investment income is a new twist, but is it on the investment income over 250K or as implied from the first dollar, just guessing, I'd say it would begin at 250K and up, but that's a guess, I don't know.What is written there I'm sure is exagerated, even a Democrate knows that taxing a primary residence sale like that would impact home sales.

That means you're going to have to offer owner financing at much more typical rates in order to get buyers, and hold those notes until you can get the project to qualify for warrantable financing.You imply you want 100% financing.

A 9.7% cap implies NOI of $130,950 a year which in turn implies expenses of only $47,250 a year.
