I was wondering if i should come in at 55k as well, or 56k or 60k....does it do any harm to lowball, will the listing agent just say no way, the bank has said 68 so get close or will they try to convince the bank....make your case for you?

I've had clients do this before... its technically not very ethical because thats kind of the definition of bait and switch...although if you never respond to them at all I guess its really no harm done.

I do have a copy of the Preliminary on PDF - I don't know how safe it is to share with someone but if it's not that harmful I can email it or post it for some advice.

I can say that All Cash means no disrespect and harm.

They agreed and poof it went away.There's no harm in asking.

how do you handel the fact that a bad person can ask to see a home and then esp if a lady is showing it what if they try to harm her once they are inside the home alone?

If what you have is shot, doing harm to the structure or maybe it's at the point where it is just ugly, then the cost/value added is justified.

LOL I HATE SNAKES, and with water, you'd have wildlife.

Being new, I need all the info I can get on the subject, but its a daunting task trying to weed through truth, and whatever else is said in a post, on a forum.I mean no harm/offense/negative to anyone here, but shouldnt posts in a forum be treated as if we were speaking in everyday life?

of course that's up to the seller to require it.u could do deals where you put no money down, place a contingency in it that lets you off the hook if you are unable to find a buyer - no foul no harm, if the seller is okay with a 30day option.you might market it as being a better value for them because you'll focus all your efforts on their house whereas a realtor who's going to make money from them (rather than you making it from the buyer) and the realtor is focused on a 100 properties - not particularly yours.
