You should see me eat crablegs. one leg in each hand grabbing it like you would a hammer, and I am chewing on the third holding it up with ma toes!

The borrower is having difficulty, but they may not be in a situation where the lender is about to lower the hammer, but it could be, even after filing the les pendis for foreclosure.

This may be a case where  you will have to either just punt this one or just keep hammering on it over time when the market has educated the seller on what is the truth.Like a Few Good Men....He can't handle the truth.  

You'll want to hammer out these details with the lender upfront 2.

As I am preparing to close on this 3rd property, I want to work on assembling a strong team of vendors from a strong handyman to a reputable GC and everything in between.The first 2 projects were done with me as the primary source of labor but 2 shoulder surgeries in the last 5 months has taken hammer out of my hands.

I used to get hammered by customers telling me they can get it cheaper and if I dont lower my fees theyll go elsewher.

Since I'm in NYC, out of state is most likely a must (because of the lower cost of entry).Good turnkey providers are hard to find.Really hammer down on the due diligence phase and take as much time as needed before deciding.I'd suggest choosing the "right team" over choosing the "right market".Thanks and much success

Do I just keep looking hammering out?

Ordered a sign sledge from bandit sign solutions by suggestion here in the forums.

It goes along with the old saying that if all you have is a hammer, everything will look like a nail.
