When I told him that they were under contract with me and had been for several weeks he said this was the first he had heard.The reason being he had not heard anything is this woman has entered a contract with me because she is a foster parent and is hoping to foster more children at my residence she currently fosters 4 and wants to move up to 6 foster kids. 

I went to my local realty shop and the kind woman in there showed me the values for houses in my town of Staten Island in NY.

She is an older woman that says she is going through a divorce and wants to move to my town so she can be close to her adult daughter. 

I agree with the poster that said you can’t get involved in things or it will burn you out, but Thant doesn’t mean you can’t show some sympathy or offer help.The woman has been seriously ill and lost her job in the last year and had two kids murdered. she hasnt ask for a thing, so shes not scamming you, they have been long term tenants who paid off the mortgage in a year, so you have no mortgage but are still guaranteed most of the rent.It could do wonders for her (and you) to send her a compliance card and flowers or a ham or something, and let her know if she wants to move to someplace she would feel safer or has no bad memories you would be willing to work with her caseworker to find something else.

I’m a middle-aged unemployed woman, (not having any luck finding a wage slave job, so I don’t have the $$ to invest myself,) and would like to get into real estate.

There will always be one deal or another around the corner but just like picking the right woman for a man or visa versa you have to become the right person for them as well.

The woman wanted custom cabinets , contractor and woman go and she picks them out she signs off on the order , he works up the price , and orders them . they get delivered to the house he starts installing .

The very worst thing and the reason I stopped ever trying to sell any of it and then got out of the business was a woman came into my office and told me her husband purchased the Life Insurance policy I sold him to protect her in case anything happened to him.

Give them some cash to get the woman moved and some monthly interest payments.

John: *Makes mental note* Okay, you're a business woman in real estate.
