So using your words "Lockup" the property but make sure your offer includes due diligence items to protect yourself.

Our growth has been entirely organic, driven by word-of-mouth referrals, but we’re now looking to expand our reach to new investors who might be interested in our offerings.I’ve seen and heard a lot about lead magnets (e.g., signing up for an eBook in exchange for an email address) and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on lead magnets that have been particularly effective in converting interested parties into prospects.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or guidance you can share.

So I steer clear of them and instruct my team to pass those people along to me to handle.I also have nothing more than my word and all of our 80+ all 5 star reviews.

Thanks for your kind words and thoughtful insights.

In other words, not resold to the government so the bank had more flexibility on the condition.I look at the original commitment letter and it states "xxx amount will be advanced at closing for the purchase of an investment property, and the remaining balance of the loan to be placed into an escrow account to be disbursed as improvements are made".No points, and only one closing, so I don't have to deal with a short term HML that I have to refinance in under a year.Hope that helps!

In other words, it doesn't make sense for the seller.
