I thought I'd throw this out there to see what other people have done or might do if they were in the same boat.Just finished up two rehabs over the past month and ended up taking two very short term leases on both - each with their own unique circumstances.Let me describe the scenarios and then you tell me if I bumbled this one or not.1) Finished the rehab on this house just after the first week in december.

Hello,I just wanted to throw a possible 'exception' in to this conversation.

We never play any games.There is always another deal around the corner.Also, you are just bidding against yourself as you don't know how much the other parties submitted.I would let it go and move on to the next deal.We would also submit over 100 offers before we get a hit back on the true "gem" deal.Keep throwing mud on the wall and eventually some will stick.Thanks

Will they throw my offer out because it has a 20-day inspection period, a 45-day close, or a contingency based on review of the POS inspection?

Well, no harm in throwing out a question and may be learn, if there is really such an option."

Some houses are money pits and you just keep throwing money into it without an end in sight.

Although some Realtors would still be willing to help you out if you throw them a bone every once in a while.

Brand new then two years later I'm throwing it in a dumpster.

In South Fla it is impossible to get a contract when you are contingent on conventional like @david beard said- they throw it in the trash- it is also very hard to get conventional financing here for investment property- most investors are going HML w/ exit stodgy- that is very good plan if the numbers work.

I'll just throw out that you can go to the Flip2Freedom site and listen to the podcast on "generating $5K in the next 30 days", as it walks through step-by-step on pulling a list and executing an initial campaign.
