He’s in great health and stays on the run between managing his properties and doing work in his church.The question that I have is how would you go about encouraging the first lady to sell this year?

I told him I'd be at $75k (what I bought the house across the street for), but encouraged him to get a CMA from a realtor and was off to my son's bb game. 

Hang in there and let us all be encouraging as you go through this!

Few people can currently accomplish what you have and we are simply trying to provide them with encouragement and some guidance, answer some of their questions and concerns, provide them with feedback that is useful and will create a better understanding of how to deal with different situation they may come across and assist those we can whenever they do find themselves in a fix.

Your "1 out of 100" comment is spot on.The danger is when people become encouraged to engage in investments they are sorely under-prepared for.

@Jo-Ann Lapinthank you, that’s very encouraging.

@Travis KemperLook into what’s called a Letter of Intent, LOI, which is used in the multi area as a sort of “pre-offer”.After that I’d encourage you to submit what they request and as long as you have a due diligence and a separate inspection contingency you should have plenty of ability and time to back out.  

I would encourage you to deposit the money to get the agreement signed if you're working with a Seller who's requiring you to put up what you would deem a small amount of money.

Thank you BP community, there is so much encouragement and help found here.  

It's amazing how quite literally a few pixels and an auto response email pat on the back create this tiny amount of electronic validation that is so encouraging to do more.
