Like most folks I get a ton of yellow letters (even the ones with the fake coffee stain :) )  and postcards...I had one recently and the gal was quick as I had just purchased the home a few weeks ago ...however the house is already under contract...seems like a lot of folks on here question the response rates on the mailings they sent out...I was thinking of texting her that I had received the postcard but house was already gone but ask her to add me to her buyer's list...would wholesalers appreciate that sort of follow-up ? 

Some of them are very stubborn about negotiating, even if their property is in awful shape.

Putting a single number on a property is a little flawed in itself when you factor in flexible/stubborn sellers, adequate/inadequate marketing, etc. but a single number is required by most lenders.

Be stern if you must because as a newbie I will have occasional tunnel vision and stubbornness to get the deal done no matter what.

He's being very stubborn on refusing to take a "loss" below what he paid for the property, and wanted his original price of $120k, but agreed to come down to $115k for a price.Current mortgage is assumable with following numbers:balance $84k at 3.750 interest rate (3.89 APR)closing costs $2,600prepaid items $1,000total monthly payment (P&I, HOA, hazard insurance, property tax) comes to $840 if we assume his loan.So the 84k plus 25k comes to 109k, leaving us 6k apart.

Other lenders, are stubborn and will list higher than where I advise them to list.

If smoking does occur on the premises: 1) Tenant is responsible for all damage caused by the smoking including, but not limited to, stains, burns, odors, and removal of debris; 2) Tenant is in breach of this agreement; 3) Tenant, guests, and all others may be required to leave the premises; and 4) Tenant acknowledges that in order to remove odor caused by smoking, the landlord may need to replace carpet and drapes and paint the entire premises regardless of when these items were last cleaned, replaced, or repainted.

Oooops, sorry Mike, didn't mean to stain that tie ole buddy, but you're miss'n someth'n, need to check in your state for the minimum loan amount that can be secured by real estate, can't just be go'n out there filing liens for any little ole bit ya want to, not only would it not hold that bucket of spit, you'd have your'self an other false lien matter to go see the judge 'bout!.

He needs at least $10,000 for his "equity" (his own stubborn sticking point).

Stains are easily painted over once the roof is fixed.
