@Russell BrazilHi Russel,I would also be interested in a meetup of yours!

@Moses Bowie Russ - Thanks for your input and encouragement.

Quote from @Russ B.: Before you split up any "profit", I would run the numbers and verify that it is actually profit.

(although Russel is still and active agent and may have more accurate info) That is true even with an AS IS contract. 

@Russ Scheider was hosting it, but he's passed me the torch because he's a busy dude.

@Russ Scheider  appreciate the perspective...I am currently contemplating giving my realtor a break, she has been spending a lot of time showing me properties and making offers...sounds like you have a good relationship with your realtor.

Thanks Russ, will do!

As the Brits say, its like "chaulk and cheese".The "Dave Deldados and Russ Dalbys will get theirs, they are sophisticated fraud promoters.My advice, Read books, ask questions here on BP, you will do well.And it will take you a while, so be patient.

@Russ Swan the OO stipulation is not a deal breaker, as long as you offered AFTER the OO only (first look) period was up.
