But it threw me a curve ball, the caller wants to sell a vacant lot on a cul de sac in a newly established neighborhood.

My crystal ball hasn't worked since I was a kid.

Getting a conservatorship can be a lengthy and expensive process, and though I have a good relationship with the seller (having become well acquainted through many phone conversations and through doing little things like cleaning off old photos I found at the trashed property and mailing them to her), she has been slow to get the ball rolling on her end.

See a picture of my wife and myself with Robert and Kim at www.HomeSweetHomeLLC.com (My wife is wearing Kim's fur coat.)

The upside is, the seller may be willing to play ball if faced with the prospect of having to find a new buyer with this woman already not paying. 

It's also best practice, in my opinion, to make the 'base' purchase price offer a reasonably high amount that should be acceptable as is, rather than low balling and having a huge range for escalation.

It sounds like you aren't the type of CPA that needs to acquire your own business-meaning its a completely different ball game when you are solely dependent on yourself to generate leads/business.

However, we knew we needed to hamper down and get the ball rolling.

Ball park, you're looking to pocket no more than $500 monthly on a $300k purchase w 75% financing.

I’ve mostly been eye balling properties on how they look (condition of the house) looking up average rent in my area and seeing what the sale price of the house is. 3.
