They said they'd accept a 6 month term instead, but they're not being very forthcoming about what their sales record has been (I asked for the last 12 months just to get an idea, but they ignored the question :( ) and I'm getting a not-so-great feeling about working with them....The home is 2-stories, attached garage, 4bd 3ba, 2269 sqft and sits on a corner lot with a huge backyard (lot is approx .13 acres or 5662.8 sqft).

She accepted our offer of $185000.Lessons learned?

Ask your broker or if you have a real estate lawyer you know see if they have a generic one your state's BAR accepts.

If she accepts the offer, make her sign and you both get a copy."

You can also seek projects through licensed Portals that are using Title III and can accept money from non-accredited investors. 

MTR and STR are still widely accepted and unregulated.   

They counter offered at 110,000 and I accepted the contract.

Hi, I just got an accepted offer on my first property (4plex) in Anderson, IN.  

I take a picture of their driver's license.I ask for phone numbers that accept texts and any alternate land or business phone numbers.I ask for the names and birth dates of anyone under 18, and ask if there are any service / emotional support animals, together with their names and breeds.I also ask for personal references, previous landlord contact info (and length of time there), employer contact info (and how long there, together with earnings), as well as the name and contact information for their manager / boss.

I saw how that proposal is basically her giving me a 0% loan, but at the same time I believe that structure will avoid her taking a large loss (approximately 30k if she accepts a 300k offer).I do not know why she doesnt get a PM, I only share the facts of when she purchased it, the purchase price, and the reasoning she shared with my realtor as to why she is selling after such a short time period.
