As, for assigning contracts right now, how would you phrase it to the seller to be as clear and upfront as possible that the contract may not close?

Based on your phrasing I'd say that is a low quantity and makes this a fairly competitive market which is good to know so I don't underestimate the unknown.Damn that is a lightning fast close, but I'm also glad to know where the market stands at the moment in terms of baseline pricing.Thanks for your time!

This is a a question about lists I know about alot of diffrent type of lists but I know that each of thesse lisst for instance like the tax delinquency lists  I am wondering how I can have thesse lists pulled my self completley custom and secondly if anyone knows some special key phrases or alternate phrases to pull lists on thing s like preprobate

I think the issue here might be with the phrase "personal flip"?

When a neighbor calls to complain about detached-home tenants swearing loudly, other than saying "tell me more" and letting the caller vent, any favorite phrases I could use to let them feel heard without triggering wounds or having the conversation dragging on forever? 

A phrase that people use when going from one tenant to another, and getting the property rent ready from the previous tenant.

And, yes, I agree that in the end, it's the sellers who will decide, but I joined this site to see how the world of real estate finance works, and so I do want feedback from people who turn numbers all day long.I sometimes think I have really workable ideas and I need a head check against my gut check to see if I am tracking or tracking like a fox catcher (to paraphrase a popular phrase without reusing the word "crazy.").

Or could you guys give me a good legal phrase  that allows the lender to pick the closing date?  

What I truly appreciate are the keywords and search phrases.

There are a zillion ways to phrase it, but most important you stand firm in the decision.
