"They were all in her face trying to scream.

If you found a screaming deal, it might be possible to use hard money and a refi and get enough cash to do the deal and have a small reserve fund.

THe landlord would call and scream and yell and was just completely off crazy!

I try to scream that to people all the time, but you know there will always be plenty who just want that 'return'.

I didn't know the extent of the damage, but I became patently aware that walking was definitely out of the question.My teeth chattered violently as adrenaline surged through my body, acting as a sort of natural painkiller.I screamed for help.

I have looked at a lot of properties like this.Many have gone past the average life expectancy of the building.The tenants are the worst of the worst.I am sure this seller is blowing sweet nothings in your ear dreaming of when it closes and he hands the keys (turd) over to you and runs out screaming that he is free FINALLY !

James,I think what Mark was saying is "$10 EM (complaining about $500) for a 30 day "free" option", screams Shaky/flipper/etc.

Your two single best possibilities of financing are from either the seller or someone you already know.A hard money lender is going to want to see 1) an exit plan and 2) most likely some of your own cash into the deal.Even if its worth $150K its not a screaming deal.

So...I'm convinced this isn't a screaming deal.

Great posts here, I never used a script, I just hate canned scripts and to me it screams a lack of knowledge to converse on the matter.Carol, I think you are to disclose your agency relationship "upon the first opportunity" which around here means right after someone says real estate.
