It doesn't seem very efficient to pre screen a lot of tenants and take them to a viewing when one could have known on beforehand they the potential tenant would never qualify, just by asking the make or break questions right away.A pro I can see to asking all questions upfront is that lazy people or people who realise they would never qualify don't bother applying.

For example, I've realised rent-to-rent is feasible in expensive areas such as Cape Town, whereas buy-to-lets work better in some areas of JHB.

I guess when I started feeling super overwhelmed and realised that this can't be right?

@Cassi JustizI got some great news.The seller realise that it's their fault and will be refunding my earnest money.We ll be negotiating closing costs.The upside of not moving forward with this deal is worth it.

I am open to local purchases and also out of State purchases as our local housing market is relatively expensive.I hadn't realised when I joined Bigger Pockets that there was such an extensive network and forum.

I got involved in solar because it released my "inner tree hugger" :)  I realised pretty quickly that while people were environmental, they would not be switching to solar unless the numbers stacked up.

lol didn't realise it was the Maryland Forum. 

After working there for only 4 months I realised the company was a disaster so I quit and decided to take the year off to travel.

You made the offer that worked for you too bad for the seller not to realise his emotions prevented him from doing business.

To begin you need to realise that buying a personal home is a life style decision, it is not a investment.
