After being in the Sangin Valley in Afghanistan in 2010, my desire to provide and take care of my loved ones is stronger than ever.

I have just seen cases where it doesn't matter if the earnest money is 1,000 or 50,000 if it is non-refundable the buyer has a much stronger commitment.If not the buyer who wants to get out of the deal will just "lawyer up" and try to find an out and get back EM.You can also have it where at a certain point in the contract the EM becomes non-refundable.

- money- inventory - Time - knowledge - connections see which elements are stronger and leverage that to your advantage.

I get there are many extra hurdles in stronger markets however it is also historically more profitable in stronger markets if that makes sense.

I would have obviously rathered getting a stronger offer but between not being able to sell to an fha buyer (anti flipping rules) and the lightning quick turnaround time I couldn't turn it down for my first flip. 

I believe they appreciate stronger in my market.

He is stronger than ever!

If the mortgage holder forecloses, any delinquent property taxes will still be attached to the property.Now if it were a tax lien foreclosure, that would be much a stronger indicator that all liens were wiped out.

Do you find yourself more drawn to the pure income markets near you like Pottstown & Norristown, or stronger population/economic growth markets where you give up some of the income for a better chance at strong capital gains like the neighborhoods surrounding Center City or a town like Conshohocken where a lot of young professionals seem to be congregating?

I've found having cash has put me in a stronger than average position because when I say I'll close in 5 or 10 days, my usual deal, I MEAN IT.
