I've got signed deal with Seller for $250,000, which includes the 3 franchises AND the real estate for 1 of the units.

Sorry, I can see offering a discount for a limited time only, after which the price goes up to whatever the full cost is, but NO reputable seller/instructor is going to literally only give you a total of 10 minutes to make your decision.Sixth, depending on the market you are in, and the specific deals you find, $10,000 could be a ridiculously small finder's fee.

Seller is understandably getting really upset, because what the bank is asking for could take weeks and we were already supposed to have closed.Any adviceAloha Leah, this is very common as the other lender stated above.

The seller and their agent hopefully did a good job communicating with that tenant to set expectations.

I have been looking at properties and it seemed like the seller s  based their price on zero percent cash flow for the buyer.

Issue is, in these "bad" deals the government comes after the lease option seller for predatory lending practices and the eviction / foreclosure process is a nightmare.

Often established sellers go with seasoned listing brokers.

Telling sellers everything wrong with their house and justifying your offer with repair costs doesn’t build trust—it kills it.

Traditional + Seller back financing How did you add value to the deal?

@Andrae S Wiggins recommend you upgrade your BP membership to Pro to access the BP Calculators to evaluate rental purchases.Play with the numbers to figure out the purchase price that gives you your target ROI.That's the number you'll need to make an offer at, NOT what the seller is asking.Yes, you will get a lot of rejects, but whoever said investing was easy?
