Pete,I know an excellent contractor, who if not up to speed to build would know who is,  Sean, with Applied Pressure in Norfolk VA.

Common here, septic tanks get a perc  test, water test the well at the well head or ahead of the pressure tank.

Underwriting and regulatory pressure have been an issue of all crowd funding portals...even pre-RE.

I'm well aquainted with the pressures of un-employment.

(No pressure - I will merely tell you yes or no) if you want to give me an opportunity to price the loan myself...only then will I do that.)Again, new agents...I know how hard it is for you to get the ball rolling and at times it seems as though you don't have any assistance.

The price was also a little below the average for the area.We submitted an offer for the house, and under my agent's pressure (she is a friend of ours), hired an inspector and coughed up $170.

Pressure, pressure!!!

That tends to be true when it is a buyer's market and the bank is under pressure to clean up its REO portfolio.

Also if the option puts little pressure on the seller then they may be fine with a much smaller amount for option consideration.The how you do it is the same as when you use $10,000.The why a seller would agree and being able to successfully get your deal accepted by the seller requires a bit more skill at the margins.Note that a $10 earnest money or a $10 option consideration payment makes for a good story.
