Go home and call all of your credit cars and ask them to lower your interest rate and raise your credit limit".

I know dumb question but I am curious.. not that I have ever or will ever place a craiglist add.. but I look at cars sometimes on there..  

Example:Duplex, listed recently for $249,000, 2 bed/2 bath/ 1 car garageThe property was in decent shape with 1 side already rented about $75 below market and one side vacant.

At this point it doesn't seem to make sense to trying an get funded before the specified closing date in a few weeks, so we are looking to not move forward with the purchase.We are being told we can terminate our offer at any time we want, and get our earnest money back due to "not receiving proceeds from sale" or "not qualifying for funding"The way we are reading it is that we need to let the contract automatically terminate on the date specified in the contingency form, and potentially keep trying to sell our house, to get the earnest money back and not be in breach of contract.We want to be sure not to lose our earnest, and do everything according to the contract.Thank you so much!

Seriously, you wouldn't buy a car site unseen. 

So Why did you think you could just automatically get 70% of the value on day one ?

in our market here we build 3 to 4 thousand new apartment doors yearly. that's one city metro.. so this in itself keeps rents from going to nuts.. but the new construction depending on where it is is 100 to 400 a foot to build.. its a 100k to build one on the low end up to 400k for one 2 bd apartment in an elevator building on the higher end..when you can go to rural US and buy existing homes in some of these small bergs for 50 to 70k and in some small towns in PA for instance I have seen many for 10 to 20k.. does not take much there to be successful renting those out.. cost of acquiring them is more akin to being in the used car business. 

@Benjamin Seibert Youtube is the go-to for all my car troubles too!

HiA small suggestion:Anyway to automaticly (I know I spelled it wrong) follow a discussion that you commented on?

I got a car with four wheels and don't mind driving or doing the legwork to help out of state investors analyze a deal :-)Most of what I do is SFR and 2-4 unit residential (as that's where the biggest pool of buyers are).
