I had a lot of showing (I booked all the appointments at the same time as it would create urgency with the buyers) and got a few offers.

I sent her an email explaining her our urgency to have her confirmation if we can proceed or no.

Try to determine the triggers in your area - if forclosures are taking a long time then you may have to touch 4-6 times before you hit the point where there is a sense of urgency.

Depending on their urgency, they might wait to see your unit.

Invariably applicants are late or early so I often have them seeing each other which creates the same sense of urgency.

But their numbers are always a bit "wishful"  THey do the false urgency sell... oh I have this out to lots of investors, need to know by tonight, all that...But when I run the numbers with everything factored in, interest on hard $ if needed, taxes, commissions at sale... their numbers even as stated are a joke. 

A negating technique would be to start off and ask the owner why are they selling, once you know this you can have a better idea about the seller - the property, their urgency to sell, or not. 

The deal would be a completely turn-key investment, as I would own the note on the mobile unit, and I would not have to do any maintenance, etc as a normal landlord would.Everything sounded great on paper, but here's where a got overly suspicious:1) The one-page, loosely written contract he provided did not disclose any address or rental property infornation, nor were there any lease/loan terms or agreements set forth. 2) The urgency to close the deal.

Hi all,I was recently introduced to a real estate investment opportunity by an old friend (who claims to be a gap funder/broker).He introduced me to a partner of his who claimed he had access to portable mobile home units across the country and in which case I could invest in each rental property for an investment of $10-15k each and receive a residual passive income of approximately $2.5k/month.The deal would be a completely turn-key investment, as I would own the note on the mobile unit, and I would not have to do any maintenance, etc as a normal landlord would.Everything sounded great on paper, but here's where a got overly suspicious:1) The one-page, loosely written contract he provided did not disclose any address or rental property infornation, nor were there any lease/loan terms or agreements set forth.2) The urgency to close the deal.

The HOA is not demonstrating any sense of urgency in fixing the roof, and the interiors.
