The groin can be a great strike if done correctly.

Thinking I might grab a map or pdf one and start highlighting and striking out some areas to help narrow my search areas.

You can also used reinforced strike places with 3" - 4" screws that go into the 2x4 frame.

I have used net listings many times over the years there is nothing wrong with them as long as there is full disclosure of fee made above the strike price and agency disclosure.I did one with a builder were I sold 32 duplexes for them to ca investors back in 04 these were in Oregon were I am also a re broker I took a net fee of 20k each and sold them all in 90 days with my fly buy program.   

The title implies, I think, a 64.7% strike price on $8.5M in UPB and that seems already inflated.  

I'd say you had a lot of strikes against you today.

By 2014, the building had appreciated and I had paid down a healthy chunk of the principal balance on the loan (which lowered my strike price).  

Often I find I may read something from several authors but one just strikes out at me and makes more sense.So Steve BabiakI didnt do a search to see if this topic was talked about before.I just wanted to share my experiences.

If the Seller strikes down the contingency, then you can choose to remove it or find a new asset to pursue.

So, why stop with surgical strikes?
