It allows you to take them for a test spin, raise rents if required after getting in and finding out there are issues.

Which is the entire reason my mind has been spinning since hearing about this product and the possibilities it proposes.

Be sure to spin the idea they will have additional income from selling this to you on contract and if you default, they can sell it again [careful with this, keep their motivation in mind].From your perspective, before you arrive do your homework:  How much is fair market and how much can you pay?   

Is that as simple as it sounds, write down my offer and spin the table to the seller?

There by spinning the return COC into the 100 to 300% rule. 

You can spend a lot of time spinning your wheels with a pre-list and end up with nothing more than frustration.My best suggestion is to get a broker who knows what they are doing.

They will believe the spin, and incorrectly be angry about something that doesn't actually exist.

So at this point it seems our instability more than anything is affecting us as we are just spinning our wheels getting nowhere.I am not part of any political party so I only want the discussion to be focused on credit and how that would impact our huge negative deficit and borrowing costs to balance the budget.

You will find a lot of people here that have different spins on the game. 

Threw me for a loop and my head is still spinning, maybe because i'm a nubee :) Any advice?
