Quote from @Chris Magistrado: I'm doing my research and I came across wholesaler who said if the buyer is requesting an inspection, they aren't a real buyer, probably just a wholesaler trying to scope the competition or lock up your contract. 

It's a fun story and it's how I got interested in notes.I bought a vacant, land locked (no easement) lot at tax deed auction (Washington is a deed state). 

I locked up my first deal , now im trying to find buyers.

I signed my purchase agreement, the rates came down today to 6.625 which I locked in for.

Blood gets thick and the worst part is 10 years later there are new voices in their ears, telling them all kind of crap and filling it with all kinds of ideas. 

If you’d like to offer more flexibility, consider keeping extra supplies in a locked closet and making them available upon request.

What was your process to lock in on that market? 

I actually got caught up in the creative finance bubble of trying to lock up properties way over their value just because it had creative terms not realizing that if you were to buy a property at 120% of its value you will never be able to refi or sell without paying out of pocket.

I think your demographic might be more hotel people rather than families.I would also still go with smart locks on every door.

The PMC I left to start my own PMC had at least 2 "preferred contractors" related to key players in the office so high rates and poor service fell on deaf ears.
