Most people take a shower just because it's quicker and more convenient but many people like the "luxury" of being able to take a bath on a weekend or if they want to relax on an evening off.

This technique is sometimes referred to as "wholesaling lease/options."

@Gino Barbaro are you finding these deals via some kind of marketing technique?

There are many techniques to find buyers that can take less than 2 weeks.

Search on this site for my PETIO technique for dealing with vacant houses.

I can't even let myself "relax" and do something like play an online because it just feels like such a waste of time and energy.

Seems like they are just stalling for a better offer to me.Anyone have any techniques I could use to put the pressure on this seller and get them to respond?

I think that is what you were asking: what are some different types of marketing techniques?

., if you have enough motivation and the proper quickly learned "techniques", then extensive knowledge and experience relating to the specific area of interest is not necessary for success.  

Additionally, they are readily available to offer advice and to make strategic changes that will benefit the project.Make your project as painless as possibleAnother benefit to hiring a general contractor is the fact that you can relax.
